Abstract
Background
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between partial aortic clamping (PAC) and single aortic clamping (SAC) techniques during isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and their impact on clinical outcomes.
Methods
Between 2022 and 2026, 974 patients who underwent isolated CABG were retrospectively evaluated. The study cohort was initially divided based on the operative technique into Group A (PAC, n = 626) and Group B (SAC, n = 348). To account for baseline clinical disparities, a 1:1 propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis was performed, yielding two balanced subgroups: Group C (PAC, n = 218) and Group D (SAC, n = 218).
