AS STATED BEFORE I HAD THE MINI MAZE PROCEDURE BY THE FOUNDER DR. JAMES COX AT OSU. 10-15-00. I WENT INTO NSR ON DAY 21 AND I AM STILL IN NSR 1 YEAR LATER. MINE WAS A 5 INCH CUT BEWEEN RIBS ON RIGHT SIDE. I HAD A SMALL FEELING LUMP IN MY GROIN FOR 6 MONTHS AFTER BUT NO ONE CALLED IT A CLOT. I ONLY MIGHT SAY THAT IF YOU ARE A CANDIDATE FOR MINI IT IS THE BETTER WAY TO GO. MY CHEST WAS NOT PRIED OPEN AND WIRED TOGETHER AND IS NOW LIKE I NEVER HAD OPERATION. I WOULD GIVE UP MORE DAYS TO GET TO NSR RATHER THAN HAVE CHEST OPENED. IN FACT I MAY NOT HAVE HAD MAZE IF I DIDNT QUALIFY FOR MINI UNTIL I BECAME CRONIC. WHEN I HAD OPERATION I WAS IN NSR 3 DAYS AFIB 2 DAYS LIKE CLOCK WORK.
