Article Synopsis
- The study explores how combining contact force (CF) and local impedance (LI) can enhance tissue characterization and lesion prediction during radiofrequency (RF) ablation.
- An LI catheter with CF sensing was tested on swine and in vitro, showing that LI could differ between tissue types and correlate with lesion depth, helping to understand heating levels during ablation.
- Results indicated that using LI guidance significantly shortened the RF ablation time compared to a standard method, while also achieving successful tissue ablations.
