Breakthrough Minimally Invasive Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation

Stamford Hospital Is the Only Area Hospital Offering This Highly Specialized Procedure

Stamford Hospital is one of a very few hospitals in the country where patients can receive an innovative and minimally invasive treatment for atrial fibrillation when more conservative measures have failed. This technique utilizes ablation (which means "removal or excision") to remove the disruptive tissue, and has the potential to permanently correct the condition so patients can stop or reduce medications.

The surgical procedure involves touching a microwave or laser wand to the heart, creating lesions without leaving any damage. These lesions serve to disrupt the chaotic electrical current causing the irregular heartbeat, helping it to resume a normal rhythm.
