Peri-operative Oral Triiodothyronine Replacement Therapy to Decrease the Risk of Transient Atrial Fibrillation After Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

July 23, 2012 updated by: Yong-Sun Choi, Yonsei University
This study is planned to medicate oral T3(Liothyronine)to the patients who are planned to have OPCAB(off- pump coronary bypass graft surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of oral triiodothyronine (T3) therapy on postoperative thyroid hormone concentrations, hemodynamic variables and outcomes in patients undergoing OPCAB in a randomized, controlled trial.
