Özet

Background: We investigated whether the use of aspirin (irreversible COX1 inhibitor) in the preoperative period may prevent non-valvular atrial fibrillation, which is the most common rhythm problem in the postoperative period. Non-valvular atrial fibrillation after coronary surgery may lead to an increase in hospital costs due to excessive drug use and long-term hospitalization.
