This review begins with a rationale of the importance of theoretical, mathematical and
computational models for radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation (RFCA). We then describe …

Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has long been an important therapy for ventricular
tachycardia and frequent symptomatic premature ventricular beats and nonsustained …

Background Bipolar radiofrequency ablation (bRFA) has been used to create larger ablation
lesions and to treat refractory arrhythmias. However, little is known about optimal bRFA …

Our aim was to compare the different methods of modeling the effect of circulating blood flow
on the thermal lesion dimensions created by radio frequency (RF) cardiac ablation and on …

Aims Bipolar radiofrequency ablation (B-RFA) has been reported as a bail-out strategy for
the treatment of therapy refractory ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Currently, existing setups …

Background Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of intramural septal ventricular tachycardia (VT)
in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) is challenging. Objective The purpose …

Purpose In cardiac radiofrequency (RF) ablation, RF energy is often used to create a series
of transmural lesions for blocking accessory conduction pathways. Electrode–tissue contact …

Introduction Both bipolar and simultaneous radiofrequency ablation (bRFA, simRFA) have
been used to treat thick midmyocardial substrate as well as during circular, multipolar …

Background—Ventricular tachycardia recurrence can occur after ventricular tachycardia
ablation because of incomplete and nontransmural ventricular lesion formation. We sought …

Background Esophageal thermal injury can occur after radiofrequency (RF) ablation in the
left atrium to treat atrial fibrillation. Existing methods to prevent esophageal injury have …
