The answer varies greatly depending on the complexity of the surgical procedure and the approach that is used. The actual Maze procedure itself takes about an hour to do. The remainder of the time is spent safely engaging and disengaging from bypass, opening and closing the chest, and inserting the necessary pressure monitoring lines. The approximate total time in the operating room for a Maze procedure is about four hours.
