This article reports the long-term outcomes of the concomitant Cox-Maze IV procedure in patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent mitral valve surgery. The authors found that the concomitant Maze procedure provided freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmias of 80 percent at five years and 65 percent at 10 years, respectively.

Dr. Ahmad Ali Amirghofran has pioneered numerous innovative techniques, particularly in valve repair, minimally invasive surgery, and congenital heart surgery. His current focus is on constructing native tissue valves using the patient’s own tissue during surgery, including the novel right atrial appendage valve technique. For more information on his surgical experience, accomplishments, the challenges facing cardiac surgery in Iran today, and more, read this interview.
