When rhythm correction turns risky: rare right-sided haemorrhagic pleural effusion post MAZE procedure [PDF]
European Journal of Case Reports in Internal MedicineThe maze procedure for atrial fibrillation carries risks, including pleural effusion. We report a case of a 54-year-old woman with right-sided pleural effusion post maze surgery, presenting with dyspnoea. Despite treatment, complications arose, including

Optimal patient selection for maze procedure in patients undergoing mitral valve disease [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryObjectives Although risk factors for unsuccessful Maze procedure have been demonstrated, an appropriate patient selection is still controversial. In our institute, Maze procedure is indicated for those whom normal sinus rhythm (NSR) was reestablished by ...

Haemoptysis and bronchial congestion due to pulmonary vein stenosis after maze procedure [PDF]
Respirology Case Reports, 2019 Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare disease that can cause haemoptysis. Acquired PVS is indicated as a complication associated with cardiac catheter intervention; however, the maze procedure has not been reported to induce PVS.

Minimally invasive tricuspid valve surgery and concomitant MAZE procedure with closure of LA appendage through an ASD [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports, 2021 Utilization of the ASD as a gateway to reach the left heart in tricuspid valve surgery may facilitate the use of a mini right thoracotomy and single atriotomy approach, avoiding the need for bi‐atrial incisions and/or median sternotomy.
