LSI-guided ablation may improve lesion quality in AF; leaves open whether it enhances durability or outcomes in patients.
Does Lesion Index (LSI)-guided ablation reduce histological gaps in transmural ablation compared to larger catheter movement distances in a porcine model?
Using the Lesion Index to guide catheter movement during radiofrequency ablation facilitates continuous, transmural lesions without gaps in a porcine model.
Whitaker et al. (2018) studied this question.
