Purpose. Comparison of outcomes in patients underwent CABG combined with left atrial and biatrial radiofrequency ablation of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.
Hypothesis of the study - patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease after CABG in combination with biatrial RFA have a better outcomes for the freedom of AF compared with patients undergoing left atrial RFA during CABG.

Active Comparator: Biatrial radiofrequency ablation and CABG
Biatrial radiofrequency ablation during CABG
|
Procedure: Biatrial radiofrequency ablation and CABG
Coronary artery bypass (CABG) using cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) and occlusion. Concomitant biatrial RFA during CPB. |
Active Comparator: Left atrial radiofrequency ablation and CABG
Left atrial radiofrequency ablation during CABG
|
Procedure: Left atrial radiofrequency ablation and CABG
Coronary artery bypass (CABG) using cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) and occlusion. Concomitant left atrial RFA during CPB. |
- Freedom from atrial fibrillation [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]
Freedom from AF. All cases of AF after surgical intervention.
Atrial fibrillation is defined as atrial fibrillation paroxysm lasting at least 60 seconds. Patients with AF>0.5% were classified as non-responders.
- Cardiovascular events [ Time Frame: Within three years after surgery ]All cases of stroke, cardiac infarction, thromboembolism, bleeding and death
