Objectives Stand-alone surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation is indicated in patients with
refractory atrial fibrillation who have failed medical or catheter-based ablation. Few reports …

Abstract Objective The Cox-Maze IV procedure (CMP-IV) is the most effective treatment for
atrial fibrillation. Increased left atrial (LA) size has been identified as a risk factor for failure to …

Objective Obesity is a strong and independent factor for the development of atrial fibrillation
