Philipp Halbfass et al.

Summary: This study found that temperature-controlled high-power short-duration radiofrequency ablation can achieve pulmonary vein isolation without evidence of esophageal ulceration or symptomatic complications, although some catheter tip charring and silent cerebral lesions were observed in a small subgroup of patients using a specific generator.

Effect of anisotropy in myocardial electrical conductivity on lesion characteristics during radiofrequency cardiac ablation: a numerical study

Kaihao Gu et al.

Summary: The study used a three-dimensional thorax model incorporating fiber orientation to investigate the anisotropy in myocardial electrical conductivity during RFCA. The results showed that the anisotropy in MEC has a greater reduction effect on lesion volume than on tissue temperature, especially in positions with more uniform fiber distributions.

Relationship between luminal esophageal temperature and volume of esophageal injury during RF ablation: In silico study comparing low power-moderate duration vs. high power-short duration

Juan J. Perez et al.

Summary: Findings from the simulation study suggest that low power-moderate duration (LPMD) settings result in the highest correlation between peak temperature and esophageal injury volume post RF ablation, with the greatest relative increase in esophageal damage volume. Conversely, high power-short duration (HPSD) and very high power-very short duration (VHPVSD) settings exhibit significant thermal latency after RF termination, indicating a need for fewer esophageal temperature cutoffs during ablation.

Computer modeling of radiofrequency cardiac ablation including heartbeat-induced electrode displacement

Juan J. Perez et al.

Summary: A novel aspect in computer modeling of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is the consideration of tissue movement-induced electrode displacement, which improves the accuracy of predicting lesion depth. This study utilized a 2D model to simulate the RFCA process and successfully reproduced the impact of heartbeat-induced electrode displacement on lesion formation.

Comparison of In Vivo Tissue Temperature Profile and Lesion Geometry for Radiofrequency Ablation With High Power-Short Duration and Moderate Power-Moderate Duration: Effects of Thermal Latency and Contact Force on Lesion Formation

Hiroshi Nakagawa et al.

Summary: This study compared tissue temperature profiles, lesion sizes, and complications between different RF ablation parameters. The results showed that RF ablation with very high power and short duration (90W/4s) resulted in the smallest tissue temperatures and lesion sizes, while ablation with moderate power and longer duration (30W/30s) led to the largest outcomes. Additionally, RF applications at 90W/4s exhibited a longer thermal latency, indicating a significant portion of the lesion was created after RF termination.
