1 The German Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Elderly Patients (GOPCABE) Study Prof. Dr. med. Anno Diegeler Bad Neustadt Heart Center For the GOPCABE study group
2 Disclosures Sponsor of the study is the German Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (DGTHG) Unrestricted grant ( Euro) from Maquet Inc. Rastatt Germany Payment exclusively for web-based data management of the IKKF (Institut für klinischkardiovaskuläre Forschung), Munich
3 There are some rationales, that avoiding the heart-lung machine in coronary bypass surgery reduces invasiveness and by this has a clinical benefit on major adverse events (MACCE) However Background Several randomized trials* with different patient characteristics could not confirm a significant difference * ROOBY 1 ; CORONARY 2 ; BEST SURGICAL REVASCULARIZATION 3 1 N Engl J Med 2009; 361: N Engl J Med 2012; 366: Circulation 2010; 121:

5 Patients 75 years All comers screened The GOPCABE Trial Features 12 German Centers with high experience level for both techniques Nominated Surgeons for both techniques Screening log for excluded patients Enrollement between 6/2008 and 9/2011
6 Patient exclusion criteria Additional cardiac disease necessitating additional surgery Previous pericardiotomy Immediate surgery i.e. within 24 hours after admission Inability or unwillingness to provide consent Anatomy, morphology of the coronary artery or left ventricular function was not an exclusion criteria
7 Outcome Features Hypothesis: Off pump is not able to reduce a combined endpoint MACCRE to 30%; OR 0.63 with a power of 90% MACCRE: death, myocardial infartion, additional revascularization, stroke, new onset renal replacement therapy Primary endpoint: at 30 days after surgery Secondary endpoints: 12 months MACCRE; Ventilation time, stay on ICU, hospital stay, resources utilization
