ICD-9-CM. 37.33. [ edit on Wikidata] The Cox maze procedure, also known as maze procedure, is a type of heart surgery for atrial fibrillation . "Maze" refers to the series of incisions arranged in a maze -like pattern in the atria. Today, various methods of minimally invasive maze procedures, collectively named minimaze procedures, are used.
Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radio-frequency energy or other sources to terminate or modify a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the heart of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Minimaze procedure. ICD-9-CM. 37.33. [ edit on Wikidata] The mini-maze procedures are cardiac surgery procedures intended to cure atrial fibrillation (AF), a common disturbance of heart rhythm. They are procedures derived from the original maze procedure developed by James Cox, MD .
Radiofrequency-based ablation for atrial fibrillation appears more effective than previously shown in clinical trials. Using real-world data, a new study found that the procedure eliminated atrial ...
MeSH. D017115. [ edit on Wikidata] Radiofrequency ablation ( RFA ), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor or other dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz). [2]
Using real-world data, researchers found that 81.6% of patients were free from AFib one year after RF-based ablation - a higher percentage than attained in clinical trials. Ablation stopped AFib ...
Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is a minimally invasive heart procedure to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). [1] It is a percutaneous , minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional cardiologist to relieve symptoms and improve functional status in eligible patients with severely symptomatic HCM who meet strict clinical ...
315,000 with atrial flutter (2019) [10] Atrial fibrillation ( AF, AFib or A-fib) is an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atrial chambers of the heart. [11] [12] It often begins as short periods of abnormal beating, which become longer or continuous over time. [4]
