Official Title: Atrial Fibrillation and Pericardial Drainage: Incidence of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation According to the Type of Mediastinal Drainage Catheters
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the PleuraFlow® Active Clearance Technology® (ACT) in reducing the rate of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) among post cardiac surgery patients and to evaluate the impact of ACT on other complications, such as retained blood syndrome (RBS), a composite endpoint including re-exploration for bleeding or tamponade, and interventions for hemothorax, pericardial or pleural effusion.
