A modified Cox maze IV procedure: a simpler technique for the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation

To determine the effectiveness of a simplified surgical treatment method for atrial fibrillation (AF). Between September 2012 and October 2013, 120 patients (mean age, 52.3 ± 8.8 years) underwent valve surgery and concomitant bipolar radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of AF. Patients were ran...

Zusammenfassung:To determine the effectiveness of a simplified surgical treatment method for atrial fibrillation (AF). Between September 2012 and October 2013, 120 patients (mean age, 52.3 ± 8.8 years) underwent valve surgery and concomitant bipolar radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of AF. Patients were randomized to a Cox maze IV procedure (CMP-IV) group (n = 60) or a modified CMP-IV (MCMP-IV) group (n = 60). Freedom from AF was defined as freedom from any left atrial arrhythmia lasting
