Abstract :
Atrial fibrillation is a common disease correlated with embolism incidents. However, there is lack of report on atrial fibrillation

thoracic surgery a month before presented to our hospital with newly discovered atrial fibrillation, abdominal pain, and
ST-elevated myocardial infarction. .is is a rare case that atrial fibrillation took place one month after surgery and caused
embolism incidents in both coronary artery and mesenteric artery.
