May inform multielectrode RF development for AF ablation; leaves open human safety and efficacy.
A novel temperature-controlled multielectrode RF ablation system can safely create long, contiguous, and transmural lesions in a canine right atrial model.
Panescu et al. (1999) studied this question. Temperature-controlled radiofrequency multielectrode catheter ablation was evaluated on Lesion contiguity. A novel temperature-controlled radiofrequency multielectrode system safely created long and contiguous lesions in canine right atria, with 75% of lesions being contiguous.
