Lesion dimensions during temperature-controlled radiofrequency catheter ablation of left ventricular porcine myocardium: impact of ablation site, electrode size, and convective cooling

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftTidsskriftartikelForskningfagfællebedømt

It is important to increase lesion size to improve the success rate for radiofrequency ablation of ischemic ventricular tachycardia. This study of radiofrequency ablation, with adjustment of power to approach a preset target temperature, ie, temperature-controlled ablation, explores the effect of catheter-tip length, ablation site, and convective cooling on lesion dimensions.
