Description:

This animated video from the University of Florida demonstrates how a minimally invasive surgery is performed to treat atrial fibrillation, a rhythm disturbance of the heart. The surgery is called the Mini Maze procedure. During the procedure, radiofrequency energy is used to ablate the Afib. The atrial appendage can also be ligated to eliminate the risks of clot and stroke.
