- AF treatment during CABG increased from 31.8% to 68.8% from 2011 to 2022, driven by LAAO.
- Epicardial ablation was associated with lower long-term mortality compared to no treatment.
- All AF treatment strategies (LAAO-only, epicardial ablation, intracardiac ablation) were linked to lower stroke risk and AF readmission than no treatment.
- Intracardiac ablation had a higher rate of pacemaker implantation (6.0%) than other groups.
- Patients with persistent AF had higher mortality than those with paroxysmal AF.
