Atrial Fibrillation Procedure
Drs. Wolf and Schneeberger developed this "mini-MAZE" procedure with Atricure (West Chester, OH) over the past several years. This procedure has been proven effective to cure AF without making a sternal incision-usually 7 inches long in the middle of the chest-without opening the breast bone and without using the heart-lung machine.
