The cost-effectiveness of Maze procedures using ablation techniques at the time of mitral valve surgery
International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, 11/05/09

Quenneville SP et al. – The authors meta–analysis suggests that a Maze surgical ablation procedure at the time of MV surgery is associated with a reduced postoperative AF risk.
