This video shows Dr. John Puskas performing a thoracoscopic Mini-Maze Procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. This minimally-invasive procedure is performed through three small incisions on each side of the chest and involves the application of radiofrequency energy to treat the irregular heart rhythm. The video includes footage of the incision locations and size, radiofrequency ablation lesion placement, removal of the left atrial appendage for the prevention of stroke, and administration of pain medicine at the end of the procedure.
