Michigan's Beaumont Hospital Conducts State's First Robotic Heart Procedure

Physicians at William Beaumont Hospital in Troy, Mich. have performed Michigan's first minimally invasive robotic procedure to correct atrial fibrillation, according to a hospital news release.

A maze procedure is a surgical treatment for atrial fibrillation that is used to stop an irregular heartbeat and restore a normal heart rhythm. The new robotic maze procedure is an alternative to open-heart surgery and is performed through tiny, keyhole incisions while still allowing greater precision. The procedure results in fewer complications and a shorter hospital stay, according to the news release.
