Key result
Air-filled balloon occlusion of the coronary sinus facilitates mitral isthmus ablation during long applications but may impede transmural lesions during short 15-second ablations.
Why the study?
Does air-filled balloon occlusion of the coronary sinus improve transmural lesion formation during mitral isthmus radiofrequency ablation in an in-silico model?
Does air-filled balloon occlusion of the coronary sinus improve transmural lesion formation during mitral isthmus radiofrequency ablation in an in-silico model?
In-silico modeling suggests that air-filled balloon occlusion of the coronary sinus facilitates transmural lesion formation during long mitral isthmus ablations but may impede it during short ablations.
Suggests duration-specific coronary sinus occlusion effects on mitral isthmus lesions; leaves open human efficacy and safety.
Using an air-filled balloon to occlude CS facilitates mitral isthmus ablation in long ablations, while proximal occlusion could impede transmural lesions in the case of short ablations (15 s).
