Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality, which are directly related to its detrimental sequelae: significant symptoms, tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, and systemic thromboembolism. In recent years, symptomatic patients are being referred to have either catheter-based ablation or surgical ablation. In this report, the history, results, and predictors for failure of the Cox-Maze procedure and its modifications are discussed.Entities:
