    Verified Expert

    Catheter ablation: Controlling abnormal rhythm of heart using a catheter, by scarring the tissues at the triggering spots.

    Atrioventricular (AV) node ablation: Prevents the atria from sending electrical impulses to the ventricles, and a pacemaker controls the abnormal heart beats.

    Left atrial appendage closure: Inserting a device to close a small sac in the left upper chamber of the heart to prevent blood clots.

    Maze procedure: There are different methods of surgical maze techniques. An open-heart surgery is advised if other treatments fail.
