Restoring Normal Heart Rhythm
SPARSH Hospitals provides Maze procedure (Cox-Maze IV) for patients with atrial fibrillation unresponsive to medication or catheter ablation. This surgical technique creates a maze-like pattern of scar tissue to block abnormal electrical signals.
Benefits of Maze Procedure
- High Success Rate: 80–90% effectiveness in restoring normal rhythm.
- Stroke Risk Reduction: Closing left atrial appendage during surgery.
- Comprehensive Care: Performed alongside valve or bypass surgery if needed.
