Almost 2 million Americans suffer from the unsafe, abnormal heart rhythm
known as atrial fibrillation. Although the cause of atrial fibrillation is
yet unknown, its complications include stroke, congestive heart failure,
cardiomyopathy, and even death.

While there are a number of medications and treatment options available to
help manage atrial fibrillation, many patients are troubled by the way they
feel in atrial fibrillation or from the effects of the medications. In an
effort to find a safer, less invasive and more permanent treatment for
atrial fibrillation, our surgeons have refined a minimally-invasive surgical
procedure, known as the Mini Maze. The Mini Maze procedure is a highly
effective surgical solution for atrial fibrillation, with up to an
eighty-six percent success rate.

If you, or someone you know, suffer from atrial fibrillation, please review
the information about the closed-chest Mini Maze procedure that has helped
so many people find relief.
