NCT ID NCT06067438

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether giving the drug amiodarone after minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery can prevent a common complication called atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rhythm). About 90 adults having this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either amiodarone or standard care. The goal is to see if the drug reduces the risk of developing this heart rhythm problem in the first week after surgery.
