Temperature controlled high power short duration ablation with 90 watts for 4 seconds: Outcome, safety, biophysical characteristics and cranial MRI findings in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation
Abstract:Background High power short duration (HPSD) radiofrequency-ablation
(RFA) is highly efficient and safe while reducing procedure and RF time
in pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The QDot-catheter is a novel
contact-force ablation catheter that allows automated flow and power
adjustments depending on the local tissue temperature to maintain a
target temperature during 90watts/4seconds lesions. We analysed
intraprocedural data and periprocedural safety using the QDot-catheter
in patients undergoing PVI for paroxysm… Show more
