It is called a heart ablation and one can resume regular routine fairly quick afterwards.

It is usually an outpatient surgery unless complications arise, which sounds as if it went smoothly.

Best wishes to him.

It was ablation....there are two types, the one you describe, and the one where they make scar tissue on the affected area(s) by freezing that tissue.  I'm not sure which one he had.  The radio frequency version sends electricity to destroy the bad cells.
