Improved outcomes in CABG patients with atrial fibrillation associated with surgical left atrial appendage exclusion
ConclusionsConcomitant LAA exclusion via an epicardial closure device is associated with reduced CABG mortality, thromboembolic events, and readmissions in patients with pre ‐existing atrial fibrillation.

Toward stroke ‐free coronary surgery: The role of the anaortic off‐pump bypass technique
AbstractSurgical coronary revascularization remains the preferred strategy in a significant portion of patients with coronary artery disease due to superior long ‐term outcomes. However, there is a significant risk of perioperative neurologic injury that has influenced guideline recommendations. These complications occur in 1%–5% of patients, ranging from overt neurologic deficits with permanent disability, to subtle cerebral defects noted on neuroimagin g that may result in slow cognitive and functional decline. The primary mechanism by which these events occur is thromboembolism from manipulation of the ascending aor...
