Does target tissue temperature determine lesion size independently of flow and electrode-to-tissue contact during tissue temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation in an in vitro model?
In an in vitro porcine model, lesion size during tissue temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation is primarily determined by target tissue temperature, independent of fluid flow and electrode contact force.
EICK et al. (2003) studied this question.
