In higher-risk patients such as those with pre-operative atrial fibrillation (AF), the effects of CR are not well studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We analyzed patients\u2019 data from the HEIST (HEart surgery In AF and Supraventricular Tachycardia) registry. Between 2012 and 2020 we identified 4770 patients with pre-operative AF and multivessel coronary artery disease who underwent isolated CABG. We divided the cohort according to the completeness of the revascularization and used propensity score matching (PSM) to minimize differences between baseline characteristics. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Median follow-up was 4.7 years [interquartile range (IQR) 2.3\u20136.9]. PSM resulted in 1,009 pairs of complete and incomplete revascularization. Number of distal anastomoses varied, accounting for 3.0 + \u20130.6 vs. 1.7 + \u20130.6, respectively. Although early (&amp;lt; 24 h) and 30-day post-operative mortalities were not statistically different between non-CR and CR patients [Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs): 1.34 (0.46\u20133.86); <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.593, Hazard Ratio (HR) and 95% CIs: 0.88 (0.59\u20131.32); <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.542, respectively] the long term mortality was nearly 20% lower in the CR cohort [HR (95% CIs) 0.83 (0.71\u20130.96); <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.011]. This benefit was sustained throughout subgroup analyses, yet most accentuated in low-risk patients (younger i.e., &amp;lt; 70 year old, with a EuroSCORE II &amp;lt; 2%, non-diabetic) and when off-pump CABG was performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Complete revascularization in patients with pre-operative AF is safe and associated with improved survival.
