Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Thoracic Aortic Surgery
Conclusions Several risk factors contribute to the incidence of POAF after thoracic aortic surgery. We found that POAF significantly increased 30-day operative mortality (p < 0.0001). Our findings can be used to develop a risk stratification system for the prediction of POAF.
