I got some more information on what this post is about.
It is really a Ablation Maze. The procedure is done closed chest through four small incisions with a scope. They do remove the appendage in this procedure.
I have more information about this procedure from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. If anyone wants it, contact me by E-Mail and I will send it. I am also trying to get more information from the Nebraska Heart Institute.
