Midterm Clinical Experience With Microwave Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Thomas A. Molloy, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 79, Issue 6, Pages 2115-2118 (June 2005) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2004.06.104 Copyright © 2005 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 Bilateral microwave Maze lesion set pattern in 29 patients. FLEX 4 Probe (AFx-Guidant, Santa Clara, CA) was used in 27 patients, and the FLEX 10 Probe was used in 2 patients. The ligament of Marshall was divided and cauterized. The left atrial appendage was excised. The procedure was performed on-pump in 16 patients and off-pump in 13 patients.
