Comparative analysis of perioperative outcomes between hybrid system and MiECC: A prospective pilot study

The hybrid system demonstrated comparable results to the MiECC in patients undergoing isolated CABG. No significant differences were observed in CPB time or postoperative blood transfusion requirements. However, the HS group showed favorable biochemical parameters, including significantly lower postoperative lactate levels and troponin levels at 6 h. Indexed oxygen delivery and partial pressure of oxygen were similar between groups, and ICU and hospital stay durations were comparable. These findings suggest that the hybrid system offers outcomes on par with the MiECC approach, with potential benefits in terms of biochemical markers. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate these results and explore possible advantages in broader clinical settings.
