Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Frequency of the pulmonry vein stump thrombus after left side anatomical pulmonary resection. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Frequency of the systemic thromboembolic event including cerebral infarction at the early phase after surgical resection (within 30 day after surgery). Percentage of the shrinkage of pulmonary vein stump thrombus. Frequency of the pulmonry vein stump thrombus and frequency of the systemic thromboembolic event including cerebral infarction at the late phase after surgical resection (at 3,6,12 months after surgery). Safety analysis for postoperative heparin administration (duration of chest tube drainage, bleeding related complication, re-insertion of chest drainage tube). Respiratory related complications. Postoperative 30 day / 90 day mortaliry rate. | — |
