Is Anticoagulation Necessary for Post-CABG Surgery Atrial Fibrillation?

The article evaluates whether oral anticoagulants (OACs) are necessary for managing new atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Topics discussed include the low incidence of thromboembolism and mortality in post-CABG AF, the increased bleeding risk associated with OACs, and the lack of significant benefit from OACs in reducing complications.
