Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The prevention of perioperative atrial fibrillation (AF) and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) has the potential to reduce mortality, stroke, and hospital stays in patients undergoing major thoracic surgery. Data from cardiac surgery patients suggest that prevention of perioperative atrial fibrillation using an anti-inflammatory agent, such as colchicine, is feasible. The COP-AF trial will assess whether the administration of oral colchicine will reduce the incidence of perioperative atrial fibrillation and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery in patients undergoing major thoracic surgery.
