| Scientific title | A randomised comparative study of patients undergoing myocardial revascularisation with or without cardiopulmonary bypass surgery |
| Study acronym | MASS III |
| Study hypothesis | The aim of the MASS III Trial is to compare medical effectiveness, safety, cerebral injury, quality of life, cost-effectiveness of coronary surgery with (on-pump) or without (off-pump) cardiopulmonary bypass. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Institutional Review Board (Comissão de Ética para Análise de Projetos de Pesquisa - CAPPesq) approved on 19/10/2001. |
| Condition | Coronary artery disease |
| Intervention | Trial operators were required to perform optimum coronary revascularisation in accordance with the current best practices. The surgery was performed by physicians experienced in both on-pump and off-pump bypass surgery techniques. Surgical access to the heart was through a standard median sternotomy in all cases. All incisions and closure techniques were the same for both groups, limiting variability and maintaining blinding of group assignment for patients, family and cardiologists. A cell saver reservoir (COBE Cardiovascular, Inc., USA) was spun down and returned to all patients when the quantity was sufficient. Off-pump strategies: Off-pump surgery used the Octopus stabiliser described in detail elsewhere. In brief, the distal ends of the two suction arms of the stabiliser are placed on the beating heart on both sides of the target coronary artery. The proximal parts are fixed to the operating table. Through the application of negative pressure, the target area of the heart is sufficiently immobilised to allow the safe construction of the anastomosis of the graft with the recipient artery. On-pump technique: Conventional coronary artery surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass was accomplished with every effort to minimize the impact of cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients without diabetes received 1 gram of hydrocortisone sodium succinate (SoluCortef®, Pharmacia & Upjohn Co., USA) intravenously before of anesthesia. This procedure will be made only in the on-pump technique. |

| Primary outcome measure | The following will be assessed at discharge and 5-year follow-up: 1. Incidence of cardiovascular mortality 2. Cerebrovascular accident 3. Non-fatal myocardial infarction 4. Refractory angina requiring revascularisation |
| Secondary outcome measures | The following were assessed at discharge and at 5-year follow-up: 1. Non-cardiac mortality 2. Presence and severity of angina 3. Quality of life, using the 36-item Short Form health survey (SF-36) 4. Cost-effectiveness |
