Objective To compare the impact of cardiopulmonary coronary artery bypass grafting (CCABG) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) on the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in the elderly patients (age≥70 years). Methods The clinical data of the isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients (age≥70 years) in our center from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2017 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The patients with long-term dialysis, missing serum creatinine data, emergent surgery or CABG combined with other cardiac procedures were excluded. Totally there were 3 346 patients undergoing isolated CABG, and finally 1 405 patients (age≥70 years) entered the study. The elderly patients were divided into a CCABG group (956 patients) and an OPCAB group (449 patients) according to whether they used extracorporeal circulation. The incidence and severity of postoperative AKI in the two groups were compared. Results  AKI occurred in 306 (32.0%) patients in the CCABG group and in 138 (30.7%) patients in the OPCAB group with no significant difference (P=0.677). According to the acute kidney injury network (AKIN) criteria, the severity of AKI in the CCABG vs. OPCAB was as followings, AKIN stage Ⅰ: 211 (22.1%) vs. 93 (20.7%); AKIN stage Ⅱ: 51 (5.3%) vs. 23 (5.1%); and AKIN stage Ⅲ: 44 (4.6%) vs. 22 (4.9%) with no significant difference (P=0.579, 1.000 and 0.788). There was no significant difference in the new onset of dialysis between the CCABG group (31 patients, 3.2%) and the OPCAB group (10 patients, 2.2%, P=0.376). Conclusion  AKI is a common complication in the elderly CABG patients, with AKIN stage Ⅰ accounting for the most proportion, but rate of postoperative renal replacement therapy is low. Compared with CCABG, OPCAB is not associated with a significantly low rate or reduced severity of AKI in elderly patients.
