Abstract
safe and adds little burden to either the patient or surgeon. More investigations are needed with greater sample sizes and prospective data collection in order to truly assess the long-term efficacy of the procedure. If surgical management of AF is ever going to be a widely viable option, better postoperative management, long-term follow-up and collaboration between surgeons, cardiologists and patients is required in order to obtain the best possible outcomes. The many limitations, due to the retrospective nature of this study, highlight the merits of prospective data collection and the need for a national registry in Australia.
