Concomitant atrial fibrillation ablation during aortic valve and aneurysm surgery
For patients undergoing aneurysm surgery concomitantly with aortic valve surgery, surgical ablation was effective and did not increase 30-day mortality. Survival and stroke outcomes were similar to a matched reference group without preoperative atrial fibrillation. Ablation of atrial fibrillation should be considered at the time of aortic surgery.
