The part of the heart around the pulmonary veins is believed to be the source if electrical disarray in atrial fibrillation. Mini maze is a surgical procedure for treating atrial fibrillation. Mini Maze is a procedure where you use a small pen like device through a hole on the lateral aspect of the chest wall. At the tip of the device is a laser source which identifies the target with minimal damage to the structures around. The main complication of surgical maze procedure is pulmonary vein stenosis which can be potentially reduced by the use of mini maze.
