Abstract
A MAZE III procedure was performed on a patient with a small body surface area. On the first postoperative day, the patient developed severe dysfunction of the left ventricle, due to significant narrowings of the right and circumflex coronary arteries in the areas that were cryoablated during the MAZE III procedure. The coronary narrowings were treated by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). At discharge the coronary anatomy was normal again with an almost normal left ventricular function.
