Keyhole Heart Rhythm Ablation Without Bypass Support

Alabama rates for HCPCS 33265

Creates a limited set of scar lines on the heart to block the chaotic electrical signals that cause atrial fibrillation, working through small chest incisions with a camera rather than by opening the chest. The heart keeps beating throughout, so no heart-lung machine is used. It is the more limited version, treating fewer areas of the heart than the full pattern does.
