Concomitant Treatment of AF in CABG; Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze?
Surgeon's top concomitant questions reviewed in a rapid-fire panel setting

• What are the actual risks of adding concomitant treatment in CABG procedures?
• What are the benefits of concomitant treatment in CABG procedures?
• For patients with AF, should it be a complete CMIV or nothing at all?
• For patients with multiple vessel disease and AF, does a second/third bypass or AF correction procedure have the greatest risk/benefit?
• How should surgeons get up the learning curve?
• What do referring physicians want us to do?
• Should patients have input in the decision to treat their AFib during coronary bypass procedures?
