Summary

The goal of PREACT-AF is to learn if posterior pericardiotomy works to prevent the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does posterior pericardiotomy prevent the incidence of POAF for participants after cardiac surgery? What medical problems do participants have when undergoing posterior pericardiotomy?

Conditions

  • Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
  • Cardiac Events

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Posterior Pericardiotomy

The surgeon will perform a posterior pericardiotomy while the patient is on cardiopulmonary bypass. In detail, the surgeon will use cautery to make a 4- to 5-cm opening in pericardium between the left inferior pulmonary vein and the diaphragm. Then a soft channel drain will be placed through the posterior pericardium, the pericardiotomy and into the left pleural space.
