Long-term outcomes of Cox-Maze IV in patients undergoing multiple concomitant cardiac procedures: Is a complex surgery a barrier to rhythm success?
Our study results suggest that Cox-Maze IV provides excellent long-term rhythm control even in complex cardiac surgeries involving multiple concomitant procedures. The effectiveness of the procedure appears to be preserved across increasing surgical complexity, supporting its broader application.
