摘要: Abstract The original maze procedure that was described for the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation followed by an unacceptable incidence two problems: (1) frequent inability to generate appropriate sinus tachycardia in response maximal exercise and (2) occasional left dysfunction. In effort overcome these problems, we modified technique (maze I) twice. results modifications culminated III procedure, which is associated a higher postoperative rhythm, improved long-term node function, fewer pacemaker requirements, less arrhythmia recurrence, transport function. addition, technically demanding than either I or II procedure. Therefore, now choice management medically refractory fibrillation. (J T HORAC C ARDIOVASC S URG 1995;110:473-84)
