[HSF] Indications for maze with mitral surgery

[Prasanna Simha M]

I had done a study which I presented in the Asian meet held at Mumbai
in which (for chronic Afib) I did emazes in 3 sets - biatrial, left
+epicardial right and left only. To get a 90 + conversion rate you
need to do a biatrial set of lesions. Lesser mazes give a 60 + approx
conversion rate.
