Radiofrequency ablation is an interventional technique that in recent years has come to be
employed in very different medical fields, such as the elimination of cardiac arrhythmias or …

Ablative treatments are gaining increasing attention as an alternative to standard surgical
therapies, especially for patients with contraindication or those who refuse open surgery …

We study the characteristics of various monopole antennas for microwave catheter ablation
of the endocardium. The investigation is done with a computer model based on the finite …

MR‐guided interstitial thermotherapy offers a minimally invasive treatment for localized
tumors and tissue structures exhibiting functional abnormalities. In this study, microwaves …

The recent shift in focus from defense and government work to commercial wireless efforts
has caused the job of the typical microwave engineer to change dramatically. The modern …

A catheter-based microwave antenna cardiac ablation applicator has been developed which
unlike previously-developed ablation catheters, forms a wide aperture that produces a large …

A new coaxial antenna for microwave ablation therapies is proposed. The antenna design
includes a miniaturized choke and an arrowhead cap to facilitate antenna insertion into the …

From cell phones to treating cancer, EM energy plays a part in many of the innovations that
we take for granted everyday. A basic force of nature, like nuclear energy or gravity, this …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with
morbidity and mortality. Traditional surgical treatment of AF is the Cox-Maze III procedure, a …

Background: Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is an effective treatment for
supraventricular tachycardia. The effectiveness of the technique is at times limited by the …
