Wiki modified maze vs. maze

[churst21]

what would u look for in a report to decide if the doctor did a modified maze (33254) or maze procedure (33255-33256).

 

[lisigirl]

A modified maze is just pulmonary vein isolation. If the surgeon does more, for example, if he makes a connecting lesion to the mitral annulus, that would be a maze.
