I am facing another valve surgery and Maze. I am one of the first AVR. I have been in A-fib for about 8 years after a failed cath. ablation.
The search function here couldn't on my question,
so I would like to use the institution memory here for an answer:
1. Has anyone here had a Maze procedure,having had multiple valve surgeries-what were you experiences?
2. I have been planning to go to CCF and Dr.
McCarthy for several years because of his expertise
with Maze, valves and high risk surgery. Now is goes to NW. My problem is do I still have it done
at CCF with Dr. Gillinov and the number 1 Heart hospital or do I wait several months till Dr. McCarthy get his team up to speed at NW- number 43
heart hospital?
Thanks for your input,
longtimevalver
