Triple-site temporary triggered atrial pacing significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in high-risk patients undergoing CABG.
Özin et al. (2005) conducted an RCT in postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) (n=70). triple-site temporary triggered pacing in the AAT mode vs. no pacing was evaluated on Atrial fibrillation, defined as lasting > 30 s (75% reduction, p=0.003). Triple-site temporary triggered atrial pacing significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to no pacing (11.4% vs 45.7%, p=0.003).
