Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation Following Thoracoabdominal Esophagectomy Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Amiodarone and Control for Atrial Fibrillation and Esophagectomy. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators hypothesize that the medication amiodarone decreases the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) following esophagectomy surgery. Their specific aims are to: Determine the effectiveness of amiodarone for the prevention of AF following esophagectomy surgery; Determine the influence of the prevention of AF following esophagectomy surgery on post-surgical duration of stay in the Intensive Care Unit ICU)and duration of post-surgical hospital stay; and Determine the safety of amiodarone for the prevention of AF following esophagectomy surgery.
