Phantom results support microwave catheter refinement; leaves open in vivo efficacy and clinical translation for tachyarrhythmias.
A novel flexible catheter antenna design for microwave ablation demonstrates favorable heating distribution and low power reflection in phantom models.
Lin et al. (1995) studied this question. A flexible catheter antenna for microwave treatment of cardiac tachyarrhythmias accentuates distal tissue heating in phantom models, achieving a power reflection coefficient of less than 4%.
