    Some complications of the surgical MAZE procedure have included death, stroke and the need for a permanent pacemaker. Surgeons are looking at newer techniques to perform the MAZE procedure. They are trying minimally invasive surgical techniques (small incisions) and robotics to make the surgery easier on the body. These decrease complications and procedure time.
