    The study analyzed 240 patients who underwent surgery for acute type A aortic dissection, comparing those with and without Cabrol shunt.

  • 2

    Patients without a Cabrol shunt had a higher incidence of new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to those with the shunt.

  • 3

    Multivariable logistic regression identified age and aortic cross-clamp time as independent factors influencing new-onset atrial fibrillation.

  • 4

    Cabrol shunt use was associated with a lower incidence of new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation in acute type A aortic dissection surgeries.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that the use of Cabrol shunt may mitigate the risk of developing atrial fibrillation after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.
