Effect of Postconditioning With Intralipid in Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

As evidenced by comparable postoperative cardiac enzyme levels between the intralipid and control groups, we did not find a postconditioning role of IL in OPCAB surgery, suggesting that IL may not provide cardioprotection in this setting. The authors propose a further investigation into alternative administration protocols (like varying doses and administration timings of IL) to elucidate its potential impact as a postconditioning agent in OPCAB.
