Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1), stratified by CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score and using a mixed-block randomisation approach (block sizes of 4, 6, and 8), to posterior left pericardiotomy or no intervention. Patients and assessors were blinded to treatment assignment. Patients were...
patients."n"nMethods: In this single-blind randomized clinical trial, done over a 2-year period from February 2009 to January 2011, the effects of posterior pericardiotomy were evaluated in 174 patients (87 the case and 87 the control groups) undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting ...

Conclusion: Posterior pericardiotomy is a simple, safe, and effective technique for reducing not only the prevalence of early pericardial effusion but also delayed posterior pericardial effusion and tamponade without significant reduction in post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF)....
Background: Posterior pericardiotomy (PP) has been shown to be effective in patients after cardiac surgery complicated by a reduced the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the role of PP in patients following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) remains ambiguous. We aimed to ...

Posterior left pericardiotomy at the time of surgery reduces the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing surgery on the coronary arteries, aortic valve or ascending aorta, or a combination of these operations, with no additional risk of postoperative complications, according...
