Atrial Fibrillation after Off-pump Coronary Artery Surgery: A Prospective, Matched Study

Abstract: The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial ischaemia on the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) was studied in 136 patients undergoing off-pump CABG who were matched for age and number of distal anastomoses with 136 patients undergoing on-pump CABG. Possible risk factors for postoperative new-onset AF were recorded. AF occurred in 64 (24%) of the 267 patients for whom data could be analysed. AF occurred in 29 patients (22%) in the offpump group versus 35 (2… Show more

“…Age-related changes, including atrial fi brosis and accumulation of amyloid, can cause intraatrial reentry, which leads to the development of AF (15). Age has been repeatedly shown to be the major risk factor for AF after cardiac surgery (16,17). Our results were generally consistent with the literature .…”

“…Interestingly, eliminating the use of CPB (off pump) may not fully attenuate the incidence of POAF (Enc, et al, 2004;Place, Peragallo, Carroll, Cusimano, & Cheng, 2002;Siebert, et al, 2003;Turk, Vural, Eris, Ata, & Yavuz, 2007). This is likely to be due to the fact that off pump surgery is also associated with acute inflammatory responses as shown by increased post-operative levels of IL-6 and CRP which remain predictive factors for the development of POAF in patients undergoing off pump CABG (Ishida, et al, 2006).…”

“…Kardiyopulmoner baypas kullanılmadan, atan kalpte yapılan KABC olgularında postoperatif AF prevalansı değişik olabilir (16,17). Bizim çalışmamızda atan kalpte yapılan cerrahide gruplar arasındaki fark istatistiksel anlamlı-lığa ulaşmamış, fakat "off-pump" tekniği ile AF oluşumunun azalması yönünde bir eğilim gözlenmiştir.…”
