Featured Procedure
Afib is a heart arrhythmia, during which electrical signals fire rapidly and erratically within the atria (top heart chambers), making the atria disorganized and unable to beat normally. The TT Maze Procedure is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure performed to create a new, stable, and defined electrical pathway (a surgically created "maze") for impulses to travel within the atria. This procedure is considered minimally-invasive because unlike the standard Maze Procedure which is done during open heart surgery. | Learn More about the TT Maze Procedure
