Clinical Trial: Impact of Ligament of Marshall Resection on Atrial Fibrillation Occurrence in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Randomized Controlled Trial

U.S., March 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07492901) titled 'Impact of Ligament of Marshall Resection on Atrial Fibrillation Occurrence in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Randomized Controlled Trial' on March 04.

Brief Summary: Background: 20-40% of patients with ischemic heart disease managed with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgeries face the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF), which is a known hazardous outcome. Being a well-known arrhythmogenic pathway, surgical excision of the ligament of Marshall may, theoretically, lower the incidence of POAF. Aim: In this study, we aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of prophylactic LoM resection in...
