Early Results of the Modified Right Atrial Lesion Set for the Cox-CryoMaze Procedure

By substituting this lateral RAA lesion for the more technically difficult medial lesion, the procedure becomes easier to perform and favorably impacts operative time while achieving comparable results in reducing AF burden.
