Why the study?
Does a novel contact force sensor in an irrigated radiofrequency ablation catheter predict lesion size and the incidence of steam pop and thrombus?
Does a novel contact force sensor in an irrigated radiofrequency ablation catheter predict lesion size and the incidence of steam pop and thrombus?
A novel contact force sensor in an open-irrigated ablation catheter predicts lesion size and complication risks, potentially optimizing radiofrequency power and application time.
