Nope, it requires scarring parts of the heart in order to stop Atrial Fibrillation. It has, supposedly, about a 73% success ratio. If you know what Afib is or suffer from it you would know what I am talking about.

Be glad the MAZE procedure is a thing of the past.

But God bless and heal you my friend.

You will make the right choice.

I have 2 experiences with this procedure. The first was a good friends wife who was recommended to under go the procedure and delayed. Eventually after 2 fainting episodes under went the procedure and it was a complete success with absolutely no side effects and she feels terrific

The second was my wife and last summer the effects she was experiancing from her heart abnormalities was very bad and caused problems in almost every activity. Her doctor highly recommended the procedure and after it was scheduled the insurance company denied it claiming drug therapy was not fully explored.we appealed the decision and at the same time her prescription was changed the new drug did improve her symptom's but not completely. We are still waiting for the results of the appeal. I recommend your doctor get the insurance approval asap.
