Résumé
The aim of this study was to describe outcomes of patients undergoing surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) as either stand-alone or concomitant cardiosurgical procedures in Germany. Patients with AF undergoing concomitant or stand-alone surgical ablation were included in the registry. Cardiac surgery centers across Germany were invited to participate and sought to enroll 1,000 consecutive patients. Data was obtained through electronic case report forms. The protocol mandated follow-up interviews at 1 year. Between January 2017 and April 2020, 17 centers enrolled 1,000 consecutive patients. Among concomitant surgical patients ( The CArdioSurgEry Atrial Fibrillation registry provides insights into surgical strategies for AF ablation in a considerable cohort across Germany. This in-hospital data demonstrates that concomitant and stand-alone ablation during cardiac surgery is safe and effective with low complication rates.

BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to describe outcomes of patients undergoing surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) as either stand-alone or concomitant cardiosurgical procedures in Germany.
METHODS
Patients with AF undergoing concomitant or stand-alone surgical ablation were included in the registry. Cardiac surgery centers across Germany were invited to participate and sought to enroll 1,000 consecutive patients. Data was obtained through electronic case report forms. The protocol mandated follow-up interviews at 1 year.
RESULTS
Between January 2017 and April 2020, 17 centers enrolled 1,000 consecutive patients. Among concomitant surgical patients (
CONCLUSION
The CArdioSurgEry Atrial Fibrillation registry provides insights into surgical strategies for AF ablation in a considerable cohort across Germany. This in-hospital data demonstrates that concomitant and stand-alone ablation during cardiac surgery is safe and effective with low complication rates.
