Maze procedure

Posted By Sam Hoffman on May 02, 1999 at 23:23:57
I am looking for information re: Dr Cox' external maze procedure for the treatment of afib. I have undergone 3 unsuccessful radio catheter ablations
at UCSF with Dr. Michael Lesh over the last 4 years to attempt to return me to sinus rhythm from chronic afib. Dr Cox' procedure is minimally invasive, and I am told has an 80% success rate. He has performed only 20-50 of these procedures, I understand, so I am concerned that the technology is still somewhat risky. I am 47 years old and in excellent health otherwise.
