About this trial
The study involves endocardial cryoablation of the left and/or right atrium of the heart using the CoolCryo system as an adjunct to mitral valve surgery, with the aim of eliminating atrial fibrillation (AF), which is a common sequelae of mitral valve defects and is associated with an increased risk of ischaemic stroke, heart failure and death.
