I just found out that insurance companies are reducing reimbursement to surgeons, anesthesiologists, and the hospital for using the CTSI device ("off pump"). There is no incentive to doing a procedure this way except to lose more money. I think that the overall usage will begin to diminish rapidly. The heart surgery community is not happy with this device. The overall enthusiasm has waned dramatically.
