Background: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term survival outcomes of esophagectomy with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) vs. esophagectomy alone. Methods: A total of 1798 patients who received esophagectomy between January 2010 and February 2020 were included and divided into the 38 patients who underwent OPCABG followed by esophagectomy (OP + ES group) and 1760 patients had only esophagectomy (ES group). Propensity score matching (PSM) and Cox multivariable analyses were performed to compare postoperative complications, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) between the two groups. Results: There were 37 patients in the OP + ES group matched with 74 in the ES group. The matched OP + ES group had higher total postoperative complications than the ES group, especially more pulmonary infections (P = 0.001) and arrhythmias (P = 0.018), but no other postoperative complications were the difference. The DFS was similar and the OS was a significant difference between the matching 2 groups (log-rank, P = 0.132 and 0.04, respectively). Although pT 3/4 stage, pN (+), and tumor length > 3.0 cm were independently associated with worse OS and DFS in multivariable analysis, CAD and EF < 55% were also found to be a predictive factor for OS and DFS in univariate analysis. Conclusion: OPCABG followed by esophagectomy for esophageal cancer associated with coronary artery disease has equivalent DFS and recurrence pattern to esophagectomy for esophageal cancer alone, but with a disadvantage in OS.
