Summary
The purpose of this study is to test if a nerve block procedure called a stellate ganglion
block can help decrease the chance of atrial fibrillation after surgery. Atrial fibrillation
is the abnormal, fast beating of the upper chambers of the heart. Stellate ganglion blockade
has shown to decrease other types of abnormal heart rhythms as well as decrease the chance of
atrial fibrillation.
