Brief Summary
The principal purpose of this investigator-initiated trial is to study the use of the CardiaMend device soaked in the anti-arrhythmic drug amiodarone, and how it may decrease the development of atrial fibrillation in patients that have undergone a coronary artery bypass surgery, or isolated valve surgery.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Aged 21-85 years
- Able to provide written informed consent, understand and be willing to comply with study-related procedures.
- Scheduled to undergo open-chest cardiac surgery via complete median sternotomy for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), or isolated valve repair/replacement.
- Left atrial appendage (LAA) procedures are allowed if CABG and/or valve repair or replacement is the qualifying surgical procedure, but is not a qualifying surgical procedure on its own.
- In sinus rhythm at the time of consultation and on a previous EKG, or no history of atrial fibrillation (note: continuous ECG monitoring for 48 hours is not required)
You may not qualify if:
- Unable to give voluntary written informed consent, is unlikely to cooperate or is legally incompetent, including subjects who are institutionalized by court or official order, or in a dependency relationship with testing center or investigator.
- Any condition which could interfere with the subject's ability to comply with the study.
- Ongoing participation in an interventional clinical study or during the preceding 30 days.
- Female subjects who are pregnant, breastfeeding, were pregnant within the last three months or are planning a pregnancy during the course of the study.
- Active skin or deep infection at the site of implantation.
- History of chronic wounds or wound-healing disorders.
- Known connective tissue diseases (e.g. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Epidermolysis bullosa, Marfan syndrome, Osteogenesis imperfecta).
- The subject has an implantable cardiac device (i.e., cardiac resynchronization therapy devices with and without defibrillator capabilities (CRTs and CRT-Ds), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) and pacemakers).
- Known history of atrial fibrillation (in any form including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation).
- History of ablation for atrial fibrillation.
- Patients already receiving amiodarone as a treatment for atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias during the procedure.
- Disease of the left pleura, previous intervention in the left pleural space, or chest deformity.
- Subjects with end-stage chronic-renal disease / dialysis.
- Subjects with heart failure (BNP\>1000), low ejection fraction (\<35%), end stage renal disease (on dialysis or creatinine \>1.8).
- STS risk \>5.5% for 30 day mortality.
