The effectiveness and safety of performing surgical intervention are fundamental characteristics in choosing one or another type of surgical correction. This article demonstrates a review of the literature, which includes studies on the evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of the use of Cox-Maze cryoablation procedure in combination with the correction of mitral valve pathology. This study is an analysis of publications devoted to the surgical treatment of patients with various forms of AF, in particular, the use of Cox-Maze cryoablation procedure in combination with correction of mitral valve pathology. To search for articles, a common strategy of PICO was used: patient, intervention, comparison, outcomes. During the initial search, 31 articles were selected. After reviewing and analyzing the texts, we selected 7 articles. Articles in which the effectiveness and safety of the methodology was not evaluated were not included in the analysis. According to the results of our study, it was found that performing a Cox-Maze cryoablation procedure in combination with correction of mitral valve pathology is an effective procedure for restoring sinus rhythm with acceptable indicators of postoperative complications.
