Implication
Novel ablation energies for VT/AF remain investigational; supports further research but should not change practice.

New energy sources for catheter ablation
A review of new energy sources being investigated and developed for catheter ablation of complex arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter.
Cite This Study
Wang et al. (2000) conducted a review in Cardiac rhythm problems (e.g., ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter). New energy sources for catheter ablation was evaluated. A wide range of new energy sources and catheter-based techniques are being investigated to create larger lesions for ventricular tachycardia and linear ablation for atrial fibrillation.
