Why the study?
Does the maze procedure concomitant with ASD closure improve maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with ASD?
Does the maze procedure concomitant with ASD closure improve maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with ASD?
The maze procedure performed concomitantly with ASD closure is safe and highly effective for restoring and maintaining sinus rhythm in patients with associated atrial fibrillation.
May support concomitant maze with ASD closure for AF rhythm control; hypothesis-generating pending randomized trials.
