Abstract
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia after thoracic surgery and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and has cost implications with increased length of hospital stay. This study aims to compare the incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients who had anatomical single lobectomy by Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) versus thoracotomy. To our knowledge, such a comparison has not been reported in the literature.
