Some cases of atrial fibrillation can be controlled
with medication; however, many require a new
surgical technique called the Maze procedure.
This technology blocks the heart’s irregular
electrical signals and corrects the heart rhythm.
This can be done in conjunction with open-heart
surgery or a minimally invasive technique using
small incisions. This state-of-the-art technique
does not require an incision in the heart and
offers a number of important benefits:
- Shorter hospital stay
- Reduced risk of infection
- Less blood loss and transfusions
- Minimal scarring
- Faster recovery
