Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to estimate left atrial volume reduction surgery concomitant with the maze procedure and mitral valve repair/replacement in patients with atrial fibrillation with an enlarged left atria.

MVS + maze
ACTIVE COMPARATORProcedure: Maze procedure, mitral valve surgery The scheme of lesion pattern: "box" lesion + line to mitral valve + line from "box" to left atrial appendage. The ablation procedure was performed by using a dry bipolar radiofrequency ablation clamp. The left atrial appendage was excluded in all cases. For mitral regurgitation or stenosis, the procedures will be a valve repair in the majority of cases. For valves that are not amenable to repair, a valve replacement will be performed.
MVS + maze + LA reduction
EXPERIMENTALProcedure: maze procedure, mitral valve surgery, left atrial reduction The scheme of lesion pattern: "box" lesion + line to mitral valve + line from "box" to left atrial appendage. The ablation procedure was performed by using a dry bipolar radiofrequency ablation clamp. The left atrial appendage was excluded in all cases. For mitral regurgitation or stenosis, the procedures will be a valve repair in the majority of cases. For valves that are not amenable to repair, a valve replacement will be performed. The enlarged left atria are plicated (suture technique) between the left and right pulmonary vein down to the inferior end of left atrial incision on the half-moon shape.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Able to sign Informed Consent and Release of Medical Information forms
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Clinical indications for mitral valve surgery for organic mitral valve disease Note: May include need for surgical management of functional tricuspid regurgitation or patent foramen ovale. Surgical intervention may be performed via sternotomy or minimally invasive procedure.
- a) Persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) within 6 months prior to randomization, defined as non self-terminating AF lasting greater than 7 days but no more than one year, or lasting less than 7 days but necessitating pharmacologic or electrical cardioversion.
- Duration of AF must be documented by medical history and Presence of AF must be documented by a direct electrocardiographic assessment within 6 months prior to randomization.
- b) Longstanding persistent AF is defined as continuous AF of greater than one year duration.
- Duration of AF must be documented by medical history and Presence of AF must be documented by a direct electrocardiographic assessment upon arrival in the OR.
- left atrial diameter \> 65mm
- Able to use heart rhythm monitor
You may not qualify if:
- AF is paroxysmal
- AF without indication for mitral valve surgery
- Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic arch or aortic valve procedure
- Previous catheter ablation for AF
- Redo cardiac surgery
- Left ventricle ejection fraction (LV EF) \< 35%
- Life expectancy of less than one year
- Mental impairment or other conditions that may not allow subject to understand the nature, significance, and scope of study
