Interrupting conduction across the posterior-inferior left atrium via cryoablation of the coronary sinus is a critical step in the Maze procedure to prevent arrhythmia recurrence.
Niv Ad (2000) conducted a review in atrial fibrillation. Cryoablation of the coronary sinus during the Maze procedure was evaluated on arrhythmia recurrence. Cryoablation of the coronary sinus during the Maze procedure is critical to block conduction across the posterior-inferior left atrium and prevent a high rate of arrhythmia recurrence.
