Conclusion:
Re-exploration after off pump CABG still associated with high mortality and morbidity. Delaying the re-exploration is associated with three-fold increase in mortality and morbidity. So strategy of minimizing the incidence of re-exploration like use of minimally invasive surgery and if required early re-exploration with judicial use of products should be use to improve outcome after re-exploration for off-pump CABG.
