Coronary artery bypass grafting has made great progress in recent years. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (off-pump) can escape from many complications resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass which powered the interest of more and more surgeons, but it is more technically demanding. Conventional coronary artery bypass grafting aided by cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump) can provide with good condition for anastomosis, and is still applied widely. The comparation of the two surgical techniques were reviewed, including graft patency, mortality, inflammatory response, influence on coagulation and anticoagulation, injury to important organs, hospital length of stay and cost, technical convertion, et al.
