Key result
Transcatheter radiofrequency ablation in the right atrium of dogs successfully produced well-delineated coagulative lesions in 76.6% of attempts with no significant complications.
Why the study?
Is transcatheter radiofrequency ablation feasible and safe for creating lesions in the right atrium of a canine model?
Is transcatheter radiofrequency ablation feasible and safe for creating lesions in the right atrium of a canine model?
Transcatheter radiofrequency ablation is feasible and relatively safe for creating right atrial lesions in a canine model, supporting its potential application for ablating atrial tachycardia foci.

Supports right atrial ablation feasibility in canines; leaves open translation to human atrial tachycardia ablation.
Lee et al. (1991) studied Atrial tachycardia (n=11). Transcatheter radiofrequency ablation was evaluated on Well-delineated coagulative lesions. Transcatheter radiofrequency ablation in the right atrium of dogs successfully produced well-delineated coagulative lesions in 76.6% of attempts with no significant complications.
