| Abstract: | Objective Atrial Fibrillation is a well known phenomenon in patients suffering from Rheumatic Mitral Valve Disease. Cox Maze procedure is an effective way to treat Atrial Fibrillation in such cases. Cryoablation has been substituted for cut and sew lines of Cox Maze operation from last several years so as to decrease the invasiveness. However, there has been no study from India indicating its efficacy in rheumatic patients. Therefore we evaluated efficacy of Cryomaze procedure in patients undergoing surgery for Rheumatic Mitral Valve disease. |
