Patients and methods: One hundred three patients (78 males, 25 females; mean age: 62.8±10.0 years; range, 40 to 85 years) who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery between December 2015 and May 2018 were included in the retrospective study.

Results: There was a negative and insignificant relationship between preoperative MPV values and postoperative drainage (p=0.223, r=-0.121). There was a positive and insignificant relationship between preoperative PDW values and postoperative drainage (p=0.167, r=0.137).

Conclusion: According to the results of our study, PDW and MPV values did not correlate with postoperative bleeding in patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Keywords : Beating heart, cardiopulmonary bypass, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width
