Abstract:
The Cox-maze III procedure is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation. Because of its complexity, this procedure has not been widely accepted by cardiac surgeons. We describe a technique that allows one to work on the mitral valve while more safely performing the standard 'cut-and-sew' Cox-maze III procedure at the same time.
