Open lobectomy resulted in a significantly higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation than VATS lobectomy, which increased complications and prolonged hospital stays.
Does open thoracotomy compared to VATS increase the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy?
Open thoracotomy for pulmonary lobectomy is associated with a significantly higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to VATS, which correlates with increased complications and length of stay.

The incidence of POAF in patients who underwent an open lobectomy was significantly higher than those who underwent a VATS lobectomy. An independent risk factor for developing POAF was age. In the end, POAF greatly increased a patient's rate of postoperative complications, length of hospital and intensive care unit stay, and postoperative procedures.
