Risk of neurologic events after surgery for mitral valve insufficiency and concomitant Cox-maze IV procedure for atrial fibrillation. A nationwide register-based study
Surgery for mitral valve insufficiency and concomitant Cox-maze IV can be performed with low perioperative risk. There is a low continuing risk of stroke long-term postoperatively that correlates with a higher CHA2DS2-VASc score. Patients with preoperative stroke are at increased risk of postoperative stroke despite atrial fibrillation surgery.
