Study Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Recruit Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Condition: Atrial Fibrillation
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Amiodarone in the Prevention of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy
Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies how well amiodarone works in the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) after a minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) in patients with esophageal cancer.Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an irregular heart rhythm, usually associated with a rapid rate, that is caused by abnormal electrical activity within the atria.AF is the most common complication after MIE for esophageal cancer.There has never been a study of AF after MIE that has used unbiased assignment of patients to receive…
