Hello Jenrev -
So happy to read of your success with the "less invasive" Maze procedure.
I too am considering the same procedure, due to a persistent thrombus in my appendage.
I had a conference with a well known EP at B&W hospital in Boston. I have had four TEE's, and all of the diagnostics done at a different hospital. After reviewing my history, the B&W EP recommended doing a Watchman, even with the thrombus in place. My reason for this message is I am wondering if you would mind giving me the name of your EP who did the Maze procedure? I am in the process of contacting EP's in Texas, Cleveland Clinic, and Mayo, but B&W would be a lot closer to home. Another question.... did you have an Atrial Apendage Oclusion i.e. arti-clip or similar, during your Maze procedure. Bob
Thank you Jen! I appreciate the encouragement and sound advice! Pam
