Key result
A new catheter ablation system allowed significant increases in delivered voltage, current, and energy without arcing compared to a conventional system in a saline tank.
Why the study?
Does a new catheter ablation system with a short time capacitive power source reduce arcing and allow higher energy delivery compared to a conventional system in a saline tank model?
Does a new catheter ablation system with a short time capacitive power source reduce arcing and allow higher energy delivery compared to a conventional system in a saline tank model?
A novel catheter ablation system using a short time capacitive power source allows for higher energy delivery without arcing in an in vitro model, potentially improving safety by reducing barotrauma.
