Pulmonary vein (PV) trigger was identified in 60% (18/30) of AF patients with lung resection history, with stump PVs being more active than non-stump PVs (38.2% 10.5%, P<0.001). Post-pneumonectomy AF, with remarkable incidence, risk and independent predictors including age >60 years and LAd ≥35 mm, was mostly solitary and possibly secondary to stump and non-stump PV triggers. POAF, along with infection and hemorrhage, was a RF for perioperative death. 60 years and LAd ≥35 mm, was mostly solitary and possibly secondary to stump and non-stump PV triggers. POAF, along with infection and hemorrhage, was a RF for perioperative death. Currently, modified inflation-deflation is considered the easiest way to identify the intersegmental plane during pulmonary segmentectomy. However, this approach requires a wait of about 10-20 min during the operative procedure. Therefore, we optimized the procedure, which we call no-waiting segmentectomy. In this study, we compared no-waiting segmentectomy with the modified inflation-deflation method. We studied 123 consecutive patients with pulmonary ground-glass nodules who underwent segmentectomy by uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in a single medical group from January 2019 to April 2020. Forty-five patients underwent the modified inflation-deflation method and 78 patients underwent the no-waiting method. The no-waiting procedure involved severing of the target segmental pulmonary artery, inflating the lung with atmospheric air, dissecting the hilum, and dividing the target segmental bronchus. The entire procedure could be performed at a stretch and no pause was needed. We compared the entectomy is an optional optimized approach for segmentectomy. No-waiting segmentectomy was associated with a reduced surgery time, compared to tha
