Predictors of complete arrhythmia free survival in patients undergoing surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation. PRAGUE-12 randomized study sub-analysis

Original language description

Background: Surgical ablation (SA) is commonly used in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, its effect has been established in few randomized studies. To assess the complete atrial fibrillation free (AF-free) survival inrandomized study assessing the effects of additional concomitant SA of AF in patients primarily indicated for other cardiac surgery. Methods: The PRAGUE-12 study was a prospective randomized study comparing the effect of adding SA to other cardiac surgery. We examined the data from the PRAGUE-12 trial and grouped patients according to complete AF-free survival. All patients had regular check-ups at 3, 6, 9 months, some of them with Holter recordings, and a final check-up at 12 months with Holter recording. Results: One hundred ninety-four patients were analyzed; 104 originally randomized to surgery with adding SA (SA group) and 90 without it (non-SA group). Complete AF-free status was found in 46 patients from the SA group (44.2%) and
