Minimally Invasive & Open Heart
Understanding Arrhythmia Surgery
Arrhythmia Surgery is performed to treat abnormal heart rhythms that cannot be effectively controlled with medications or catheter-based procedures. The surgery helps restore a normal heartbeat, improve heart function, and reduce the risk of complications such as stroke or heart failure.
Minimally Invasive: Uses small incisions and specialized techniques, such as surgical ablation, to correct abnormal electrical pathways with faster recovery.
Open Heart: Traditional surgical approach often performed when arrhythmia treatment is combined with other cardiac procedures, such as valve or bypass surgery.
Arrhythmia surgery is recommended for atrial fibrillation (AFib), atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, recurrent arrhythmias resistant to medication, and rhythm disorders associated with structural heart disease.
Patients undergo a detailed cardiac evaluation before surgery. The procedure targets abnormal electrical signals in the heart, followed by monitoring, recovery, and ongoing heart rhythm management to ensure long-term success.
Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and improved quality of life.
Open Heart: Provides comprehensive treatment for complex or persistent arrhythmias, especially when combined with other heart surgeries, leading to better long-term rhythm control and heart function.
