1 Cox/Maze III operation versus radiofrequency ablation for the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation: a comparative study  Bruno Chiappini, MD, Sofia Martìn-Suàrez, MD, Antonino LoForte, MD, Giorgio Arpesella, MD, Roberto Di Bartolomeo, MD, Giuseppe Marinelli, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 77, Issue 1, Pages (January 2004) DOI: /S (03)

2 Fig 1 The surgical scheme of the radiofrequency ablation in (A) the left atrium and in (B) the right atrium. Solid lines represent the surgical incisions (the conventional left and right atriotomies), and dashed lines represent the radiofrequency energy ablation lines. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , 87-92DOI: ( /S (03) )

3 Fig 2 The overall survival at follow-up. (▾ = radiofrequency ablation; • = Maze.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , 87-92DOI: ( /S (03) )

4 Fig 3 Trend of the sinus rhythm during the follow-up in the two groups. (▾ = radiofrequency ablation; ■ = Maze.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , 87-92DOI: ( /S (03) )
