Why the study?
Does concomitant surgical ablation restore sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing cardiac surgery?
Does concomitant surgical ablation restore sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing cardiac surgery?
Concomitant surgical ablation during cardiac surgery is a safe and effective strategy for restoring sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Supports concomitant ablation in AF patients undergoing cardiac surgery; reinforces Level 1 evidence for sinus rhythm restoration.
The evaluation of the current randomised trials demonstrates that concomitant surgical ablation and cardiac surgery is safe and effective at restoring sinus rhythm.
