Atrial fibrillation after transhiatal esophagectomy with transcervical endoscopic esophageal mobilization: one institution’s experience

摘要

BackgroundThere have been numerous studies regarding atrial fibrillation (AF) associated with cardiac and pulmonary surgery; however, studies looking at esophagectomy and atrial fibrillation are sparse. The goal of this study was to review our institution’s atrial fibrillation rate following esophagectomy in order to better define the incidence and predisposing factors in this patient population.
