Limited Maze Surgery For Atrial Fibrillation

New Jersey rates for HCPCS 33254

Open-heart surgery to treat atrial fibrillation, an irregular rhythm arising in the upper chambers of the heart. The surgeon creates a limited pattern of controlled scar lines in the walls of those chambers so the disordered electrical signals cannot circulate, and rebuilds the chamber walls afterwards. This is the less extensive version of the operation.
