This study examines the incidence and impact of POAF on outcomes in CABG patients at a single institution. This retrospective observational study included patients undergoing isolated CABG between 2006 and 2022, excluding those with preoperative atrial fibrillation. Data include demographics, length of stay (LOS), mortality, and complications (Bleeding, stroke, and infection rates), comparing outcomes in patients with and without POAF. Among 2,671 patients, 238 (8.9%) developed POAF. POAF patients had higher rates of infection (7.56 vs. 5.75%), postoperative bleeding (5.04 vs. 2.84%), and stroke (5.46 vs. 2.01%). Thirty-day, 2-year, and 5-year mortality rates were 1.3, 7.8, and 24%, respectively. Intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital LOS were also prolonged in POAF patients as well. A total of 63.6 and 8.44% of POAF patients were discharged within 5 days from the hospital and ICU, respectively. Compared with 73.1 and 15.8% of non-POAF patients experienced no complications. POAF significantly impacts CABG patient outcomes, increasing morbidity, mortality, and resource utilization. Monitoring and early intervention are essential to mitigate these effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2650-7339","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]],"date-time":"2025-07-25T22:38:54Z","timestamp":1753483134000},"page":"098-102","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Single-Center Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Dominic","family":"Armagno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sibu","family":"Saha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"01","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1186\/1749-8090-7-87","article-title":"Atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery: risk analysis and long-term survival","volume":"7","author":"S Helgadottir","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Cardiothorac Surg"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"665","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezx039","article-title":"Postoperative atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery: a persistent complication","volume":"52","author":"J W Greenberg","year":"2017","journal-title":"Eur J Cardiothorac Surg"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref3","first-page":"1231","article-title":"Usefulness of postoperative atrial fibrillation as an independent predictor for worse outcomes after CABG","volume":"109","author":"A Saxena","year":"2012","journal-title":"Am J Cardiol"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2347297","DOI":"10.1080\/14017431.2024.2347297","article-title":"Atrial fibrillation incidence after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention: the prospective AFAF cohort study","volume":"58","author":"A Wickbom","year":"2024","journal-title":"Scand Cardiovasc J"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"955","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2023.12.005","article-title":"Surgical coronary revascularization in patients with underlying atrial fibrillation: State-of-the-art review","volume":"99","author":"E J D\u0105browski","year":"2024","journal-title":"Mayo Clin Proc"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"742","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2003.11.023","article-title":"Postoperative atrial fibrillation and mortality after coronary artery bypass surgery","volume":"43","author":"R P Villareal","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Am Coll Cardiol"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"ezac264","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezac264","article-title":"Effect of postoperative atrial fibrillation on early and mid-term outcomes of coronary artery bypass graft surgery","volume":"62","author":"A Oraii","year":"2022","journal-title":"Eur J Cardiothorac Surg"},{"key":"ref8","first-page":"442","article-title":"New-onset atrial fibrillation following coronary artery bypass grafting and biatrial pacing: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"199","author":"K Phan","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int J Cardiol"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Angiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/a-2650-7339.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]],"date-time":"2026-05-13T22:32:35Z","timestamp":1778711555000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/a-2650-7339"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,6]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/a-2650-7339","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1061-1711","1615-5939"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1061-1711","type":"print"},{"value":"1615-5939","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]]}}}
