How does the MicroMaze procedure differ from other atrial fibrillation treatments available today, such as radiofrequency ablation?
Describe some of the benefits that MicroMaze offers in comparison. The MicroMaze procedure offers an excellent chance to cure atrial fibrillation in selected patients. Because the lesion set offers a full thickness ablation in a very controlled manner, the current results indicate that the long-term results will be durable. The operation is minimally invasive. Patients are in the hospital for a few days on average, and resume their normal activities very quickly. Is this technology being offered at any other hospitals? There are a number of centers in the US offering this surgery. Our surgical group offers a complete range of available technology to treat all forms of atrial fibrillation through the MicroMaze to traditional open-heart MAZE procedures. What other treatments for atrial fibrillation do you offer at your hospital? We perform all currently available operations for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. We are in close communication with companies developing new technologies
