Description
Summary:Summary A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was ‘in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery, does atrial incision affect early postoperative rates of atrial arrhythmia’. Two hundred and four papers were found. Nine represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. Data suggest that a transeptal incision is associated with increased rates of postoperative atrial arrhythmia compared with direct left atriotomy. A best evidence topic was constructed according to a structured protocol.
