Cardiac Arrhythmia Treatments and Procedures

The particular treatment that is best for you depends on the arrhythmia and how serious it is. In fact, some arrhythmias do not require any treatment. Treatment options include medications, lifestyle changes, catheter ablations, implantable devices and surgery.

    Maze Procedure

    If you suffer from atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) your cardiac surgeon may recommend the Maze procedure. At Penn, we routinely perform minimally invasive surgery to treat heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) like atrial fibrillation. We even treat patients who have been told their A-Fib is inoperable.
