For 14 years, Gloria lived with Afib. What started as a routine procedure to restore her heart rhythm led to the discovery of a rare cardiac tumor and an opportunity to address both conditions during one procedure. Using the Cox-Maze IV procedure and AtriCure technologies, Dr. Alphonse DeLucia created precise lines of scar tissue designed to interrupt the abnormal electrical signals that cause Afib and help restore normal sinus rhythm. Today, Gloria is back to walking her garden without losing her breath and looking ahead to celebrating her 70th birthday. Stories like hers highlight the impact surgical Afib treatment can have on patients’ lives. Watch the full story: https://okt.to/voLItF
