Brief Summary | I. Main Research Question:
II. Small RCT studies and meta-analyses done so far have not been able to conclusively say which of the procedure is better. A large randomized study is required to establish the risks and benefits associated with both the off-pump and on-pump CABG surgical procedures. III. The study will look at which of the two techniques reduce major risks associated with CABG. |

Detailed Description | Rationale and purpose of the study: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery prolongs life-expectancy in patients with severe ischemic heart disease, especially those with left main, triple vessel disease or single/double vessel disease with stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery. The perioperative mortality is about 2% with an additional 5% to 7% suffering complications such as myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, etc. The technique of operating on a beating heart (off-pump) for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery has been recently developed in the past few years in an effort to decrease the above perioperative complications typically related to cardiopulmonary bypass associated with on-pump CABG. While registries suggest that off-pump CABG may be superior, these data cannot fully control for differences in patient characteristics, which influence patient selection for specific procedures. The benefits of off-pump CABG compared with conventional on-pump CABG are unclear. The investigators therefore propose a large simple, international multicentre randomized controlled trial to definitively evaluate the efficacy and safety of off-pump CABG in the treatment of patients undergoing coronary artery surgery funded by CIHR, this pilot study will be a preliminary step towards a full trial. Sample size: The investigators examined the outcomes in the Canadian off-pump CABG Registry to identify a group of patients who represent a higher risk of cardiovascular events. Utilizing the inclusion criteria described below, this group of patients has accumulated the vast majority of outcomes in the Registry and represent more than 50% of patients in the Registry, therefore minimizing the sample size but still being representative. The cumulative event rate at 30 days (first co-primary outcome) for on-pump CABG is estimated as being 8.6% and the investigators expect a 33% relative risk reduction (RRR) for the off-pump CABG group. The sample calculated for the whole trial is 4700 patients. Design/Methodology: Trial design: This is a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing off-pump CABG versus on-pump CABG in 60 patients who will be undergoing isolated CABG. Interventions: Patients eligible for CABG will be randomized to receive either an Off-pump CABG surgery or On-pump CABG surgery. Randomization: After obtaining informed written consent patients will be allocated to either off-pump CABG or on-pump CABG by calling a 24-hour randomization telephone number. An expertise-based randomization will be used wherein a surgeon who is an expert in Off-pump surgery will operate on patients randomized to receive Off-pump surgery. Patients randomized to receive On-pump CABG will be operated on by a surgeon who is an expert in on-pump CABG surgery. To minimize bias stratified block randomization will used. For this pilot study randomization will be stratified to 3 centres and random block of 4 or 6. The data adjudicators will be blinded to the study. Due to the nature of intervention, the operating surgeon, anesthetist, perfusionist, other operation room staff, intensive-care unit staff will not be blinded in this study. Setting: Patients will have either been seen in the emergency, outpatient or ICU and diagnosed with having single, double or triple coronary artery occlusion requiring an isolated CABG. Study interventions: Interventions: Patients eligible for CABG will be randomized to receive either an Off-pump CABG surgery or On-pump CABG surgery. A surgeon who is an expert in the assigned technique will perform the procedure. Primary outcomes:
The secondary outcomes
Measurements: The investigators will ascertain all events of interest through periodic and regular follow-up utilizing standardized definitions for all events, appropriate supporting documents will be obtained centrally.
For other endpoints, the investigators have defined:
Plan for data analysis: The intention to treat principle, in which all participants will be included in their assigned treatment groups regardless of adherence, will guide all analyses. In the principle analysis, the time to the first occurrence of one of the components of the cluster of (cardiac death, stroke, nonfatal MI, new renal failure) will be presented by Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the comparisons between the two treatment groups will be performed by a log-rank test. The treatment effect as measured by the hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval will be derived by the Cox proportional hazards model. The investigators will also calculate the absolute risk reductions and the associated 95% confidence intervals, as well as the number needed to treat (NNT) with off-pump CABG to prevent one major cardiovascular event. Participants who prematurely discontinue follow-up before a major cardiovascular event will be censored as to their last follow-up data; this number is expected to be <1% given the relatively short period of follow-up after surgery. In secondary analyses the investigators will determine and compare the incidence of major cardiovascular events (cardiac death, stroke, nonfatal MI, new renal dialysis) and revascularization procedures (i.e. coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention) using the same strategy. The effect of the two operative techniques on different sub-groups (i.e. patients with diabetes, renal failure, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, as well as patient left ventricular function, gender and ages will be conducted by stratified analysis through a Cox proportional hazards model. The test of interaction between each subgroup factor and the treatment group will be done by including a product term in the model already containing treatment and the subgroup factor. The length of hospital stay and length of ICU/CCU stay will be compared using a student's t-test. An events adjudication committee (blind to surgical allocation) will centrally review all suspected major outcomes listed above. The investigators will also do subgroup analysis on different sub-groups (i.e. patients with diabetes, renal failure, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, as well as patient left ventricular function, gender and ages will be examined for consistency and coherence) |
