Objective: The purpose of this study was to measure the incidence and impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) after open thoracotomy versus video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy at an academic medical center. Methods: With institutional review board approval, 899 patients who underwent a pulmonary lobectomy from January 2005 to December 2021…
Objectives: Video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lobectomy is considered a promising surgical therapy for the diagnosis and treatment of non–small-cell lung carcinoma. The issue of whether VATS is superior to open thoracotomy remains controversial, however. We sought to determine whether the use of VATS lobectomy for diagnosing and treating non–small-cell lung carcinoma…
Objectives: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States. Kentucky has the highest age-adjusted lung cancer rate and has one of the highest death rates from lung cancer in the country. Lobectomy is considered the standard therapy for non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), whereas sublobar resection…
Objective:Although video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has been demonstrated to be safe and technically feasible for nonsmall cell lung cancer, it is infrequently performed in most hospitals. As a result, there has been no clear long-term outcome regarding this procedure until recently.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the results of patients suffering from…
