Fig 1 Freedom from atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (AF/AFL) using the Kaplan-Meier actuarial curve. On the horizontal axis is shown the follow-up in days and number of patients at risk in each 365-day interval. (See text for details.)

Fig 2 Actuarial survival curve for the study population with sustained sinus rhythm (SR) or recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency Maze procedure. On the horizontal axis is shown the follow-up in days and number of patients (Pts) at risk in each 365-day interval. (See text for details.)

Fig 3 The relationship between left atrial (LA) dimension and the rhythm outcome at the latest follow-up is shown. Percentage of patients (Pts) free from atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (AF/AFL) is significantly lower for the patients with a left atrial dimension greater than 60 mm compared with the remaining groups with a left atrial dimension less than 60 mm (p = 0.008).
