Will I have a question, not an answer. I ask my question coming from the position of having the mini-maze procedure done while I was undergoing open heart surgery for a valve repair. This was to stop my AFib. It didn't work, but I understand the "full maze had a better record of success, and I guess that is what your are scheduled to have done.
Will this be done by some "robotic" means, or will you undergo an open heart surgery procedure to do the maze? Is this to stop AFib/Flutter?
