Why the study?
Does slow intramural heating with diffused laser light safely induce large, deep lesions in normal dogs?
Does slow intramural heating with diffused laser light safely induce large, deep lesions in normal dogs?
Slow, volumetric, and direct intramyocardial heating using diffused laser light safely induces large, deep lesions in a canine model, suggesting potential for treating postinfarction ventricular tachycardia.
