He discussed a variation of the MAZE Procedure using a minimally invasive heart proceedure using cyrogenic device. It is open heart surgery, but he believes it is very sucessful. What would be the criterion for a patient to consider this as an option to avoid the side effects of medication and living with the negative impact of A-fib vs trading off the risk of this type of surgery.
