Values are presented as n (%) or median (interquartile range).
One hundred fourteen out of 221 patients who had moderate or greater tricuspid regurgitation were included in analysis.
Ablation rates were calculated out of all patients with preoperative atrial fibrillation (n = 153).
P < .05.
Twenty-six patients who underwent beating heart surgery were excluded.
