Key result
Combining impedance, contact force, and ablation indices is recommended for durable lesions in AF RFCA.
Why the study?
Durable lesions are crucial for successful PVI in AF, but inconsistent lesions lead to reconnections and recurrence, making effective lesion assessment essential.

Supports multimodal lesion assessment for durable AF ablation; hypothesis-generating without randomized confirmation.
Comprehensive lesion assessment using a combination of biophysical parameters and imaging techniques is crucial for achieving durable pulmonary vein isolation in atrial fibrillation ablation.
Gracia et al. (2024) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation. Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation was evaluated. A combination of lesion assessment techniques, including impedance, contact force, and ablation indices, is recommended to achieve durable lesions and improve long-term outcomes during radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
