Fig 1 Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrates the overall survival for patients who have undergone atrial fibrillation ablation during a redo cardiac operation.

Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrates the overall freedom from atrial fibrillation (AF) for patients who have undergone a right-sided maze procedure for AF ablation during a redo cardiac operation. Right-sided cut and sew maze (CSM) is shown as a dashed line and right-sided cryo/radiofrequency (RF) maze is shown as a solid line. There is no difference between groups (p > 0.05).

Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrates the overall freedom from atrial fibrillation (AF) for patients who have undergone a biatrial maze procedure for AF ablation during a redo cardiac operation. Biatrial cut and sew maze (CSM) is shown as a dashed line and biatrial cryo/radiofrequency (RF) maze is shown as a solid line. There is no difference between groups (p > 0.05).
