Trends and Outcomes of Anticoagulation for Post‐Operative Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

The benefit of long-term anticoagulation of POAF following CABG with warfarin or DOAC remains unclear, as there was no reduction in thromboembolic events with anticoagulation despite a reduction in all-cause mortality at 60 days. No significant reduction in thromboembolic events or all-cause mortality was exhibited at 1 year. Thus, the benefit of long-term anticoagulation of POAF following CABG with warfarin or DOAC remains unclear.
