Abstract

Biological aortic valve replacements are commonplace in cardiac surgery and is highly recommended for patients older than 65 years old as there is no need for anticoagulation. However, there is a significant incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation in this cohort of patients which results in some surgeons preferring to anticoagulated patients for short term. The practice at a tertiary referral centre was reviewed.
