Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm. With atrial fibrillation, electrical impulses don't follow a normal pathway through the heart. As a result, the heart doesn't beat properly or pump blood correctly.
Atrial fibrillation can lead to:
Surgical ablation (also referred to as a modified Maze procedure or Mini Maze procedure) involves the use of radiofrequency waves (modified electrical energy) to create precise scar lines on the heart's surface. These scars redirect the erratic electrical impulses of atrial fibrillation to a normal electrical pathway through the heart. Heart surgeries, such as mitral valve replacements along with Tricuspid valve repair are procedure which are performed in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Benefits of Surgical Radiofrequency Ablation
Surgical radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation offers the following benefits:
Intra Operative Abalation Markers
Right Atrial Lesion Pathways
Cardioblate System
