Incomplete revascularization was linked to higher postoperative atrial fibrillation rates after OPCABG with clopidogrel-based DAPT, but not with ticagrelor-based DAPT.
Does incomplete revascularization increase the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing OPCABG, and is this risk modified by the choice of DAPT regimen?
Ticagrelor-based DAPT may mitigate the increased risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation associated with incomplete revascularization after off-pump CABG compared to clopidogrel-based DAPT.

IR was associated with a higher rate of POAF after OPCABG in patients receiving clopidogrel-based DAPT, but not in those receiving ticagrelor-based DAPT.
