Systematic review and meta-analysis: Is surgical cardiac denervation effective against postoperative atrial fibrillation?
Surgical cardiac denervation does not significantly reduce overall POAF but does lower the incidence of persistent atrial fibrillation. It is also shown to decrease serum magnesium levels. Other outcomes, such as stroke, reoperation, and hospital stay, showed no significant differences.
