Abstract
Modifications of conventional ablation strategies can make arrhythmia surgery more efficient after primary sutureless repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. We present a surgical technique performed in a 3-year-old patient who experienced ongoing atrial arrhythmia after sutureless repair. A new modified Cox-Maze IV procedure was performed, which respects the special characteristics of patients after sutureless repairs, showing good short-term results.
