Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the capability of a Cool-tip electrode to create larger coagulation volumes combined with a low-flow (0.1 mL/min) perfusion of hypertonic saline at a distance of 2 mm (hybrid applicator) without reducing either predictability or sphericity of the coagulation zone.

Materials And Methods: A total of 48 radiofrequency ablations were performed on a total of 12 adult pigs: 24 with the Cool-tip (group 1) and 24 with the hybrid applicator (group 2).
