Surgical operation and conditions. LIMA, left internal mammary artery; RITA, right IMA; SVG, saphenous vein graft; CPB, cardiopulmonary bypass; AF, atrial fibrillation; BP, blood pressure; ICU, return to intensive care unit. *Patient 3: positioning of the heart for OPCAB led to sudden drop of BP necessitating conversion to on-pump CABG. †Patient 8: TEA provided incomplete thoracic analgesia, elective conversion to GA was performed before sternotomy. Postoperative pain control using TEA was excellent. ‡Patient 12: exaggerated respiratory exertion, stabilization of the heart for OPCAB was impossible, conversion to GA was undertaken
