What are the surgical procedures for atrial fibrillation (afib)? The American Heart Association explains the procedures for afib that require surgery, such as pacemakers and the Open-heart maze procedure.
If you have atrial fibrillation (AFib), your doctor might suggest that you have surgery or another kind of procedure to treat the condition.
If you have severe AFib, your doctor may recommend surgery. Here's a detailed look at the different types, from ablation techniques to the Maze procedure.
From medications and surgery to other procedures, you have several treatment options for atrial fibrillation. We'll go over them in detail.
What are the surgical procedures for atrial fibrillation (afib)? The American Heart Association explains the procedures for afib that require surgery, such as pacemakers and the Open-heart maze procedure.
Surgical Treatments for Afib. Atrial fibrillation can be reversed by ablating its sources within the heart with heat and/or cold energy. This can be done over a catheter (catheter ablation) or through minimally invasive surgery (MAZE procedure).
There are multiple surgical options for patients with atrial fibrillation. These range from minimally invasive video assisted (VATS) ablation, to concomitant (in combination with other cardiac surgery procedures like coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG), to stand alone surgical ablation.
A maze procedure is a heart surgery that treats AFib, or atrial fibrillation. By creating a specific pattern (maze) of scar tissue, the procedure blocks abnormal signals but allows normal heartbeat signals to come through.
Afib surgery options include surgical ablation (Maze procedure) and robotic surgical ablation. Learn who makes a good candidate, the benefits of surgery and a comparison of treatment options.
Explore atrial fibrillation (AFib) surgical treatment options, which encompasses several procedures such as the Maze, Mini Maze, and Convergent surgeries, compared to the conventional catheter ablation method.
