5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Comparison of two operative techniques (on-pump vs off-pump)of coronary revascularisation of the best treatment concept for patients older or 75 years old.
Hypothesis: The coronary bypass operation without use of the heart-lung machine (off-pump=OPCAB) reduces the combined endpoint in comparison with the conventional coronary bypass operation (on-pump).
