I would like to hear from anyone that had the Maze Procedure for Afib when they had Valve Surgery. I would love to get rid of the afib and the Maze procedure has been mentioned by my EP and Cardiologist. I have a Mechanical Mitral Valve and will be having AVR in the near future. I am in afib about 30 - 40 % of the time.
It is difficult to tell if I am feeling miserable from the AS or the Afib or all the meds I take (Multaq 200mg, Metropolol 100mg, Coumadin, Lasix 40 mg). TEE is scheduled for August 29th and then I will know more.
I have been told that the Maze could be difficult to do with the Mechanical Mitral Valve but I think the Doctor was talking about the Cath Maze and not OHS.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
