Totally thoracoscopic left atrial Maze: standardized effective and safe

摘要

OBJECTIVESThe totally thoracoscopic left atrial Maze (TT-Maze) is a relatively new surgical solution for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). The procedure consists of a complete left atrial Maze, which is performed by video-assisted thoracoscopy with the use of radiofrequency ablation. We describe our rhythm results as well as our learning curve experience of the TT-Maze.
