Developing a Risk Prediction Model for Early Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Maze Procedure.

Background: The efficiency of maze is a safe procedure in AF patients who underwent concomitant mitral valve surgery was more than 60%. The aim of this study was to define predictors of early AF recurrence after concomitant maze procedure with valvular surgery.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 234 patients with AF underwent concomitant valvular replacement and maze procedure.
