Atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery is associated with adverse outcome.
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 1 in 3 patients undergoing CABG had pre- or postoperative AF. Patients with pre- or postoperative AF were at higher risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and congestive heart failure, but not of myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke. Postoperative AF was associated with higher risk of recurrent AF. PMID: 30265179 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Long-Term Survival After Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Swedish Nationwide Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term survival was similar between off-pump and on-pump CABG in patients undergoing non-emergent primary isolated CABG in Sweden from 1998 to 2008. Off-pump CABG was performed infrequently and there was a continuous decline in the number of procedures during the study period. PMID: 24075498 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
