Despite this, there are certain conditions in which we would advocate for repair in severe IMR. A restrictive annuloplasty and ‘le ventricular’ procedure such as papillary muscle approxima­tion should be considered when the following criteria exist:
• Reversible inferior-posterior-lateral ischemia—minimal scar
Good bypass target in the PDA and Circumex territory
Acceptable LV dysfunction (LVEF ≥ 35%)
Non-severely dilated ventricle
LVEDd < 65 mm
LVESd < 55 mm
LVESVI < 70 ml/m2
Papillary Muscle Approximation (PMA) recommended as an ad-
juvant ‘Ventricular Operation’
Restrictive annuloplasty is insucient, but necessary
Percutaneous mitral valverepair
Many patients with moderate or severe IMR are high- risk surgical candidates. is, combined with the predicted rise in the ageing population and prevalence of heart failure, underscores the impetus to develop less invasive approaches to treating mitral valve disease. Several companies have developed percutaneous devices for mitral repair. Percutaneous approaches can be grouped by their site of ac-
Several important dierences between the COAPT and MITRA­FR studies may give insight into the discrepant ndings. e baseline echocardiographic le ventricular end- diastolic volumes were sub­stantially higher in the COAPT trial., ere was also a marked dierence in follow- up data available at 1- year: COAPT 97.7% in the device group and 94.2% in the control group compared to 54.6% and 51.3%, respectively, in the MITRA- FR study. MITRA- FR indeed had a signicant amount of missing echocardiographic, outcomes, functional status, and quality- of- life follow- up data. e diering results of these randomized studies challenge uniform conclusions. Nonetheless, the studies may have looked at dierent populations of patients and most clinicians seem to be guided in practice more by the COAPT results.
Another percutaneous approach involves implantation of devices within the coronary sinus in order to push the posterior annulus an­teriorly and thus reduce the anterior– posterior dimension of the mi­tral annulus, improve leaet coaptation, and reduce MR. Potential technical issues with the coronary sinus approach include pinching of the circumex artery as well as coronary sinus thrombosis, occlu­sion, erosion, or perforation. e coronary sinus also does not overlie the annulus but rather is located at a 6– 12mm distance from it. In the setting of mitral annular calcication, it is unclear how eectively this technique would be able to displace the posterior annulus.

Five- year results from the Endovascular Valve Edge- to- Edge Repair Study II (EVEREST II) which compared the MitraClip® with surgery demonstrated a lower freedom from death, surgery or 3+ or 4+ MR in the MitraClip® group at 44.2% versus 64.3% (P=0.01). Rates of surgery and moderate or severe MR beyond 6months were comparable and 5- year mortality were comparable between the groups.

With the ageing population and expected increase in the prevalence of heart failure in the United States, the number of patients with IMR will likely increase. Numerous studies have demonstrated that sur­gical correction of the mitral valve concomitant with CABG can be safely performed with acceptable operative mortality and morbidity in the setting of moderate or severe IMR. Delineating the symptom­atic, remodelling, and survival benets of surgery in these settings are prudent. Randomized trials have now evaluated the addition of mitral valve repair to CABG in moderate IMR and also mitral valve repair versus replacement concomitant with CABG in severe IMR. e moderate IMR trials have shown some diering results but have provided insight into a selection of patients for mitral valve repair. Both the 1- and 2- year outcomes from the CTSN trial for severe IMR advocate for the use of mitral valve replacement mainly due to its substantially lower rate of recurrent moderate or severe mitral valve regurgitation. e maturation and evolution of novel percu­taneous technology will likely provide alternative and less invasive approaches to addressing mitral valve disease in this population. As data accumulates and further trials are conducted, the future of IMR treatment will hopefully be met with renements that will lead to continually better outcomes.

At 12months, the composite outcome of death from any cause or unplanned hospitalization for heart failure was com­parable between groups. When these outcomes were individually assessed, there was again no dierence between the MitraClip® and control cohorts.

Combined coronary artery bypass graing and aortic valvereplacement
Christopher Lau and Leonard N. Girardi
Introduction
Aortic valve replacement (AVR) and/ or coronary artery bypass graing (CABG) have become the most common cardiac proced­ures as the population ages and life expectancy increases. In isola­tion, both CABG and AVR are performed with excellent outcomes throughout the world with operative mortalities of 1– 2%. Both procedures have seen signicant advances in recent years. e com­bination of an aortic valve procedure and CABG adds increased complexity and risk, which must be accounted for during operative planning in order to mitigate as much of the increased risk as pos­sible. Improvements in postoperative care, myocardial protection, and operative techniques for combined CABG and AVR have re­sulted in an operative mortality of 0.8– 6.4% in recent series.– 
Technological advances have resulted in a major push towards minimally invasive techniques, including transcatheter AVR and percutaneous coronary interventions utilizing ever- improving de­vices. Surgeons are increasingly faced with patients of increasing complexity and a higher risk prole as the more straightforward cases of isolated valvular or coronary disease are moving towards transcatheter techniques. While transcatheter AVR is increasingly being used to treat moderate to high- risk patients and percutaneous coronary intervention is being used for increasingly complex le­sions, including le main disease, combined signicant aortic valve disease and coronary artery disease (CAD) remains best treated with standard open CABG and AVR, except in the highest risk co­horts. ese more complex patients require a thoughtful approach to optimize their outcomes.
Combined cases lead to lengthier operations with longer myo­cardial ischaemia and cardiopulmonary bypass times. Careful op­erative planning can help to improve the ow of the procedure and reduce the burden of ischaemic stunning that may occur in the early postoperative period. Myocardial protection is of paramount im­portance in achieving optimal results when long ischaemic times are expected. oughtful preoperative assessment of the contribution of each valvular or coronary lesion to myocardial function, as well as the expected improvement in function aer repair or bypass of each lesion, aid in stratifying the risk to the patient and in planning the
degree of inotropic and mechanical support that may be necessary when separating from cardiopulmonary bypass and in the postop­erative period.
Preoperativeevaluation
Clinical evaluation includes the routine history and physical exam­ination, laboratory tests, echocardiography, and coronary angiog­raphy. Consideration of the ndings on these examinations helps determine whether the CAD or valvular disease is the primary le­sion and the degree of heart failure that the patient is experiencing. Accurate risk stratication assists the surgeon in discussion with the patient and family about risks and expectations in the postoperative period.
Echocardiography is a mandatory preoperative test that provides a wealth of information when formulating a plan. Assessment of ventricular function is of paramount importance in determining risk. Wall motion abnormalities can indicate the areas of ischaemic myocardium and distinguish areas of reversible or irreversible myo­cardial dysfunction. is, combined with coronary angiography, gives an indication of how much hibernating myocardium can be recruited with coronary revascularization. Echocardiography also determines the type and severity of the valvular disease. Insight into the type of ventricular dysfunction, such as a dilated cardio­myopathy due to severe aortic insuciency or a non- compliant, hypertrophied, hyperdynamic ventricle due to severe aortic stenosis (AS), is necessary to form a corresponding intra- and postoperative management plan. In borderline cases where the signicance of the valvular lesions is unclear, such as with low- gradient, low- ejection fraction AS, stress echocardiography may be useful to elicit haemo­dynamic changes that conrm the severity of the valve disease and the potential for ventricular recovery aer surgery.
In patients with severely compromised ventricular function, an assessment of myocardial viability can be helpful both for estimating the expected degree of improvement in ventricular function aer revascularization and for determining whether certain coronary distributions are worth spending the extra cross- clamp time to

bypass. Nuclear viability studies and positron emission tomography detect regions of viable myocardium with reversible ischaemia as opposed to irreversible scar tissue. Cardiac magnetic resonance im­aging provides even higher resolution. It not only provides viability information but also dierentiates areas with subendocardial infarc­tion from transmural infarction and scar. Areas with no viability
done with low risk. Additionally, those with AI due to aortic dila­tation are more likely to progress than those with AI due to leaet abnormalities, and greater consideration should be given to per­forming an AVR. e recent widespread availability of transcatheter AVR may encourage isolated CABG for high- risk patients with
CAD and moderate aortic valvular disease. should not be bypassed and this may preclude some patients from having surgery at all.
In clinical practice, oen one lesion is the dominant lesion
Surgicalmanagement
bringing the patient to the operating room and the other lesion may be less than severe. If both the CAD and valvular disease are severe by criteria, then clearly a combined CABG + AVR is necessary in order to avoid problems with separating from cardiopulmonary bypass or postoperative low cardiac output syndrome. Oen, the CAD may be severe with mild to moderate aortic valve disease, or vice versa. e surgeon and consulting cardiologist must determine whether to leave the secondary process alone or to add it to a com­bined valve- coronary procedure.
In patients presenting primarily for aortic valve disease, oen CAD is found incidentally on preoperative cardiac catheterization. e presence of CAD in patients undergoing valve surgery signi­cantly decreases the median survival for patients of all ages. Patients with aortic valve disease plus CAD are more likely to have risk factors such as advanced age, hypertension, poor ventricular function, and greater arteriosclerotic burden. While long- term survival is poorer in this group, likely due to the increased atherosclerotic burden, op­erative and short- term outcomes are not signicantly dierent be­tween the AVR and AVR plus CABG groups., In fact, in patients with moderate (50– 70%) to severe (>70%) CAD undergoing AVR, if CABG is performed it confers a long- term survival advantage by reducing 5- year mortality by more than a third, whereas omitting CABG in a patient with CAD may result in a fourfold increase in operative mortality.
Patients presenting primarily for CABG may have some degree of AS or aortic insuciency (AI). e surgeon must then decide whether an AVR should be added to the CABG, thereby increasing operative times and risk of morbidity compared to an isolated CABG. ose with mild AS or mild AI are unlikely to need reoperation for AVR in the future. ose with mild to moderate AS or AI at the time of surgery have a signicantly increased rate of aortic valve reoperation when followed out to 6years. Focusing on the group of patients with moderate AS, freedom from reoperative AVR at 5years is generally comparable in the CABG versus the CABG plus AVR groups. However, those with maximum and mean aortic valve gradients of 26mmHg and 15mmHg or greater are at increased risk of needing reoperations. Low- risk patients with long expected sur­vival may benet from a reduced risk of reoperation associated with CABG plus AVR while higher- risk patients who have poor expected mid- term survival have minimal risk of needing reoperative AVR at 5years.
e assessment of patients undergoing CABG with moderate AI is similar. In short- term follow- up to approximately 4years, AI is unlikely to progress to need AVR in the early years aer CABG and severe AI is seen in 6.9%. In patients with advanced age or poor expected mid- term survival due to comorbidities, avoiding AVR would be reasonable. However, in younger low- risk patients, the natural history of AI is to progress to severe AI at a rate of 1.9% per year and it is reasonable to perform a CABG plus AVR if it can be
Preparation and anaesthetic management follow routine principles for cardiac surgical patients, including arterial lines, central venous catheters, pulmonary artery catheters, and thermodilution cardiac output monitors. In specic situations, additional monitoring may be employed, such as continuous mixed venous oxygen saturation or cerebral oximetry.
Due to the need for both coronary and valve work, the standard incision is a median sternotomy. e internal thoracic artery, saphe­nous vein, or other bypass conduits are harvested as necessary, based on angiographic ndings. e cardiopulmonary bypass circuit is set up using a return cannula in the distal ascending aorta and a dual stage venous drainage cannula in the right atrial appendage coursing into the inferior vena cava. Acardioplegia cannula is placed in the mid- ascending aorta, which is also used to vent the aortic root. Once cardiopulmonary bypass is established, a le ventricular vent is rou­tinely placed via the right superior pulmonary vein. Aretrograde cardioplegia catheter is placed into the coronary sinus in select cases, such as with a totally occluded le anterior descending artery. Our preference is to rely mainly on antegrade cardioplegia, which is re­administered every 20– 30 minutes, since retrograde cardioplegia may not oer optimal right heart protection if the catheter is not per­fectly positioned. Target vessels are identied and marked while the heart is still beating. e patient is cooled to 32°C, the cardioplegia circuit is ushed with cold blood cardioplegic solution, and the by­pass conduits are prepared as necessary. Amyocardial temperature probe is used to conrm adequate cardioplegia administration.
e aortic cross- clamp is applied with a temporary reduction in pump ow. e technique for cardioplegia administration depends upon the amount of AI. In cases with mild or less AI, antegrade cardioplegia may be administered via a non- selective injection into the root. e ventricular vent is usually sucient to prevent ven­tricular distension, while the mildly regurgitant valve provides ad­equate pressurization of the root to perfuse the coronary arteries. With moderate or greater AI, a root injection for cardioplegia is not possible. Instead, a transverse aortotomy is created and cardioplegia is injected directly into the coronary ostia with handheld catheters. In all cases, iced saline slush is used for topical cooling, taking cau­tion to avoid placing ice on the phrenic nerve. AStyrofoam pad is used to insulate the heart from adjacent tissues and to protect the phrenic nerve.
If the aorta has been opened, the aortic valve can be resected at this time to make subsequent cardioplegia injections easier. e distal coronary anastomoses are then performed, which allows direct access to obstructed coronary distributions for cardioplegia through the gras during subsequent cardioplegia administration. e internal thoracic artery anastomoses, if they are used, are also performed and they are then occluded with bulldog clamps until the aortic cross- clamp is released.

e aortic valve is resected and the annulus is debrided if this has
not yet been done. e annulus is sized appropriately and a pros-
valve function, myocardial perfusion, and ventricular function in
order to optimize short- and long- term outcomes. thesis is chosen. e choice of prosthesis type is no dierent than for isolated AVR. Valve sutures are placed in routine fashion along the annulus utilizing a supra- annular technique and then passed se­quentially through the valve sewing ring. At this point, it is oen helpful to re- dose the cardioplegia because it is slightly more dicult to give the ostial injections once the prosthetic valve is in place. e valve is lowered into placed, conrming that there is no obstruction of the coronary ostia, and the sutures are tied. Any gaps that may lead to paravalvular leak are addressed with additional sutures, usually placed by going through the prosthetic valve leaet opening. Anal inspection of the coronary ostia is performed and the aortotomy is closed with two layers of suture. e proximal anastomoses are usually performed with the aortic cross- clamp on in order to avoid clamping the aortic suture line with a side- biting cross- clamp and risking damage to the aortic suture line. e patient is then placed into Trendelenburg position, the heart is de- aired, and all bulldog clamps and cross- clamps are released during a temporary reduction in pump ow. e patient is weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass and cannulas are removed in the standard fashion.
Postoperative management depends upon the primary patho­physiological problem. Apatient with AS, tight CAD, and normal ventricular function will likely need minimal support due to relief of the stenotic lesion and improvement in coronary blood ow. If AS is associated with a severely hypertrophied ventricle or small le ven­tricular cavity, an inotropic agent with vasodilatory and lusitropic ef­fect such as milrinone can be helpful in addition to volume loading. On the other hand, a poorly functioning dilated ventricle, such as with severe AI, may benet from adding an agent with strong ino­tropic eect, such as epinephrine, to improve the contractile force. Patients with very severe le ventricular dysfunction or who require high doses of vasopressors or inotropic agents would benet from mechanical support, such as an intra- aortic balloon pump. Over the rst few postoperative days, as the myocardium recovers from the ischaemic insult and myocardial stunning, oen the intravenous agents and mechanical support can be weaned fairly rapidly, except for severely dysfunctional ventricles, which may take more time.

Coronary artery bypass graing withthe maze procedure foratrialfibrillation
Hoda Javadikasgari and A. Marc Gillinov
Introduction
Atrial brillation (AF) is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia with uncoordinated and ineective atrial contraction. Characteristics on an electrocardiogram include (1)irregular RR intervals (when atrioventricular conduction is present), (2)absence of distinct re­peating P waves, and (3)irregular atrial activity. Table 67.1 dem- onstrates the current guidelines for classication of AF.
Haemodynamic consequences of AF result from suboptimal ventricular rate, lack of coordinated atrial contraction, beat- to­beat variability in ventricular lling, and sympathetic activation. e mechanisms of AF vary among aected individuals and so, too, do clinical presentations, ranging from no symptoms to fa­tigue, palpitations, dyspnoea, hypotension, syncope, or heart failure. Most notably, in patients with mitral stenosis, hyperten­sion, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or restrictive cardiomyopathy, diastolic ventricular lling is already impaired and loss of atrial contraction caused by concomitant AF may markedly decrease cardiac output.
In 2010, the estimated number of patients with AF worldwide was
33.5million, with higher incidence and prevalence rates in the de­veloped world. By 2050, 12million AF patients are anticipated in the United States alone with greater prevalence in older people and in patients with hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, obesity, diabetes mellitus, or chronic kidney disease. Coronary artery bypass gra (CABG) surgery is becoming

more common in older patients with comorbidities. It is no surprise, therefore, that AF is common in such patients. Data from the Society of oracic Surgeons National Database demonstrate that preopera­tive AF is present in 11% of patients presenting for non- emergent, rst- time cardiac surgery with approximately 6.5% of CABG pa­tients presenting with AF. AF is a marker of advanced cardiovascular disease. Compared to CABG patients without AF, those with AF have higher NewYork Heart Association functional class, more se­vere le ventricular dysfunction, and greater le atrial enlargement. Preoperative AF in patients undergoing cardiac surgery procedures is an independent risk factor for late adverse events, including cardiac complications, stroke, other thromboembolic events, anticoagulant­related haemorrhage, and reduced survival., Furthermore, with successful surgical ablation, the survival of the patients with suc­cessful AF ablation can be restored to that of patients without pre­operative AF. For these reasons, surgical treatment of AF should be considered in the operative strategy in cardiac surgical patients with pre- existing AF.
e use of surgical ablation for preoperative AF during car­diac surgery increased rapidly aer the introduction of devices to create ablation lesion sets and the most recent American College of Cardiology/ American Heart Association/ Heart Rhythm Society Guidelines recommendation that AF surgical ablation procedure is reasonable for selected patients with AF undergoing cardiac surgery for other indications (class of recommendation IIa, level of evidence C). Similarly, the most recent European Society of Cardiology Guidelines also recommended maze surgery, pref­erably biatrial, should be considered in patients undergoing car­diac surgery to improve symptoms attributable to AF, balancing the added risk of the procedure and the benet of rhythm control therapy (classIIa, level of evidence A). Furthermore, the European Society of Cardiology/ European Association for Cardio- oracic Surgery Guidelines recommend concomitant biatrial maze or pul­monary vein isolation may be considered in asymptomatic AF patients undergoing cardiac surgery considering patient choice, benet, and risk, supported by an AF Heart Team (classIIb, level of evidence C).

Atrial fibrillation concomitant tocoronary arterybypass
e electrophysiological underpinnings of AF have been studied for decades and remains incompletely understood. Nevertheless, the anatomical basis of AF is increasingly clear. It has been demonstrated that the pulmonary veins and posterior le atrium are the critical anatomical sites in patients with isolated AF. However, foci for AF initiation are not always localized to the le atrium, and some pa­tients also manifest right atrial focal or reentrant activation. Around 60% of all AF (paroxysmal AF) is caused by focal pulmonary vein or atrial triggers and the other 40% or so of all AF (long- standing persistent AF and permanent AF) is due to well- established self­perpetuating macro- reentrant circuits that have little or nothing to do with these focal atrial or pulmonary vein triggers. Surgeons deal with concomitant AF secondary to le heart problems such as mitral valve disease, aortic valve disease, and coronary artery dis­ease. In such patients, the mechanism of concomitant persistent and long- standing persistent AF may not be due to pulmonary vein triggers alone, and simple pulmonary vein isolation may not be ad­equate. e consensus is that all persistent and long- standing AF, whether stand alone or concomitant, requires additional linear le­sions to accompany pulmonary vein isolation in order to attain long­term freedom from AF.
Routine real- time intraoperative mapping is currently not avail­able to guide AF ablation in cardiac surgery patients. erefore, an anatomical approach to ablation based on our understanding of pathophysiology and empiric results is rapidly becoming the foun­dation for both catheter and surgical- based ablation of AF.
e clamp includes as much le atrial tissue as possible. Again, four parallel applications of the RF clamp are made (Fig. 67.1b) and exit block is conrmed by pacing from the pulmonary veins.
Left atriallesions
e heart is then arrested with anterograde cardioplegia. Astandard le atriotomy is performed anterior to the right pulmonary veins to enable creation of successive connecting lesions between the right and le pulmonary veins with the RF clamp. First, the inferior veins are connected with one application of the RF clamp (Fig. 67.1c). As with the inferior veins, the connecting lesion between the superior pulmonary veins is created with another application of the RF clamp (Fig. 67.1d). is completes the ‘box lesion’ in the posterior le atrium.
e le atrial isthmus lesion is then isolated using both a bipolar RF clamp and a cryoprobe. is is a connecting lesion from the right inferior pulmonary vein to the P3 region of the mitral annulus. Here, several manoeuvres should be used in creating this lesion:rst, the retrograde catheter should not be in place; second, the RF clamp and cryoprobe should be positioned to avoid the circumex coronary artery, if possible; third, transmurality should be ensured by making overlapping cryolesions from both the endocardial and epicardial surfaces at the level of the coronary sinus.
e rst part of the lesion is created with bipolar RF with the clamp angled towards the P3 segment of the mitral valve (Fig. 67.2a). At the mitral annulus, the lesion is completed with a cryoprobe. e coronary sinus and mitral annulus are ‘sandwiched’ between two cryolesions, ensuring a transmural lesion (Fig. 67.2b). is lesion is performed using nitrous- oxide based cryothermy at 60°C for 2 min­utes. Appropriate thawing of the tissue is necessary before removing the probe to avoid tearing the tissue. Finally, the le atriotomy is
Operativetechniques
Isolation ofpulmonaryveins
A standard median sternotomy is performed and cardiopulmonary bypass is initiated using bicaval and ascending aortic cannulation. Immediately before the CABG procedure, pulmonary vein isolation is performed on the beating, decompressed heart which enables as­sessment of conduction block. e posterior surface of the right pulmonary veins is bluntly dissected and a pacing probe is then placed on the pulmonary veins. If the patient is in AF, cardioversion is performed before attempting to assess the pacing threshold. Beginning from the inferior veins, a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) is positioned around the pulmonary veins. e clamp is advanced to­wards the le atrium, isolating as much atrial tissue as possible and ensuring that energy is not delivered directly to the pulmonary vein tissue to avoid pulmonary vein stenosis. Four parallel applications of the RF clamp are made to ensure that there are no gaps in the isolation (Fig. 67.1a). Exit block is then conrmed by pacing from the pulmonary veins.
e heart is retracted to the right to expose the le pulmonary veins. e ligament of Marshall is a brous band passing from the coronary sinus to the superior pulmonary vein. e posterior sur­face of the le pulmonary veins is likewise dissected, including the ligament of Marshall. e pacing threshold is established and the bi­polar RF clamp is introduced around the inferior pulmonary veins.
closed with polypropylene sutures.
Right atriallesions
e right atrial lesion set includes an intercaval lesion, and two sep­arate lesions to the tricuspid annulus. e intercaval lesion is created between the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava, avoiding the sinoatrial node. e lesions to the tricuspid annulus are created with cryotherm. Care is taken at this point to avoid contact between the cryoprobe and the phrenic nerve (Fig. 67.3).
Left atrialappendage
e current data on le atrial occlusion at the time of concomitant cardiac surgery reveal a lack of clear consensus because of the in­consistency of techniques used for surgical excision, the highly vari­able rates of successful le atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion, and the unknown impact of LAA occlusion on future thromboembolic events. e European guidelines recommended surgical occlusion or exclusion of the LAA may be considered for stroke prevention in patients with AF undergoing cardiac surgery (classIIa recommen­dation, level of evidence B).
In our practice, management of the LAA is mandatory and re­quires complete excision or exclusion of the LAA with a residual stump less than 1cm in length. New epicardial occlusion devices en­able safe, rapid, and complete LAA exclusion. If the surgeon chooses to use sutures to exclude the LAA, endocardial exclusion should in­corporate a two- layered closure, and epicardial exclusion at least two

sutures. It is important to examine the LAA stump suture line while still on cardiopulmonary bypass because it is most easily repaired before weaning from bypass.
Aer the ablation procedure, a standard CABG procedure is
carried out.
The choice ofthelesions
e surgical dilemma here is that many surgeons are reluctant to open the le atrium in AF ablation for patients with isolated standard CABG procedure. Furthermore, there is considerable controversy concerning the need for right atrial lesions in AF patients having concomitant surgery. Many reports document good results with le atrial lesions alone., However, a subsequent meta- analysis of
5885 patients demonstrated superior long- term freedom from AF in patients receiving lesions in both atria.
It is important to remember that adding a maze procedure adds only 9 minutes of cross- clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass time without increasing morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing a CABG procedure. Patients undergoing CABG as the primary sur­gical procedure may present with either concomitant paroxysmal AF or concomitant persistent and/ or long- standing persistent AF; the latter two categories likely have a dierent pathogenesis, and, in those cases, isolation of the pulmonary veins alone may not be adequate. erefore, we recommend isolation of pulmonary veins with LAA excision/ exclusion in high- risk patients or patients with paroxysmal AF; and a complete biatrial maze procedures and LAA
