Why the study?
This study aimed to investigate the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting under cardiopulmonary bypass.
Does off-pump CABG reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG in patients with preoperative sinus rhythm?
Does off-pump CABG reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG in patients with preoperative sinus rhythm?
Off-pump CABG may reduce the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG in patients with preoperative sinus rhythm.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Off-pump CABG may lower POAF risk versus on-pump; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
