Implication

May enable deeper RF lesions in VT; animal data leave open clinical translation and safety.

Structured PICO

Population

Finite element analysis models and in vitro experimental models of ventricular muscles

Intervention

Catheter-electrode design with one or more needle electrodes (diameter 0.5-1.0 mm, length 2.0-10 mm) for temperature-controlled RF ablation

Outcome

Lesion depth and widthsurrogate

A novel needle electrode catheter design for RF ablation can create deeper and wider lesions in vitro, potentially improving the treatment of ventricular tachycardia.
