Key result
The Maze IIIB procedure with suture annuloplasty achieved a 92.5% freedom from atrial fibrillation and significantly reduced mitral and tricuspid regurgitation (p<0.001) at a median follow-up of 34 months.

May support combined Maze IIIB and annuloplasty in AF with regurgitation; leaves open randomized confirmation.

Bockeria et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Atrial fibrillation with arrythmogenic mitral and tricuspid regurgitation (n=88). Maze IIIB procedure with cryoablation and suture annuloplasty of atrioventricular valves vs. Baseline (pre-operative status) was evaluated on Freedom from atrial fibrillation. The Maze IIIB procedure with suture annuloplasty achieved a 92.5% freedom from atrial fibrillation and significantly reduced mitral and tricuspid regurgitation (p<0.001) at a median follow-up of 34 months.
