The Effect of Colchicine on the Occurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery

The Effect of Colchicine on the Occurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery (CAFE)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Development of a new comprehensive method for perioperative prevention of atrial fibrillation paroxysms in cardiac surgery patients at the hospital stage. It is planned to recruit 70 patients who will undergo pericardial fenestration during the operation using the original technique during coronary artery bypass grafting (Patent No. 2647626 C1 Russian Federation), and will be prescribed colchicine (the drug "Colchicum-dispert") in the perioperative period in order to prevent the development of paroxysms of atrial fibrillation in the postoperative period, and 70 cardiac surgery patients operated on using the standard technique (without performing the pericardial fenestration procedure intraoperatively), receiving non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the postoperative period.
