Atrial Fibrillation

Treatment in Minnesota

All diagnosis and treatment options described in these pages are available at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

At Mayo Clinic, thousands of patients who have atrial fibrillation are treated each year. Heart specialists and surgeons consult with patients to determine the best treatment.

Mayo Clinic's Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Ablation Laboratory is a national leader in catheter ablation and implantable devices and uses the most advanced technology to treat arrhythmias. The lab has over 25 years of experience in treating patients who have various heart arrhythmias.

Heart surgeons at Mayo Clinic in Rochester have years of experience with the maze procedure, having performed more than 500 operations. This includes patients with isolated atrial fibrillation, acquired heart disease and congenital heart disease.

Of the Mayo Clinic patients who have had the maze procedure, 95 percent have had no atrial fibrillation at the time of their discharge from the hospital. Even those who do not respond as well may have more success with drug therapy after the procedure than they had before the procedure.
