Résumé
This study of German Cardiosurgery Atrial Fibrillation (CASE-AF) registry aims to describe the 1-year outcomes of patients undergoing ablative procedures for atrial fibrillation (AF) in a cardiosurgical setting. Between January 2017 and April 2020, 17 German cardiosurgical units enrolled 1,000 consecutive patients undergoing concomitant or stand-alone ablation for AF. In-hospital and 1-year follow-up data were collected on web-based electronic case report forms. The protocol mandated telephone-based follow-up contact after 1 year. At 1-year follow-up (median, 14.5 months [12.6-18.2 months]), significant improvement ( Surgical ablation of AF is safe and provides satisfactory results at short-term follow-up, with significant improvement in patient symptoms. Adequate cardiac rhythm monitoring should be prioritized for higher quality data acquisition.
