Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of bipolar (BM) vs. unipolar (UM) mode of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in terms of creating transmural lesions across the interventricular septum (IVS) and ...
[EN] Objective: Determine whether Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the pancreas and
subsequent transection of the main pancreatic duct may avoid the risk of both
necrotizing pancreatitis and postoperative pancreatic ...
[EN] Background/Objective
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to thermally destroy the focus of cardiac arrhythmias. Novel optical techniques are now being integrated into ...
Trujillo Guillen, Macarena; Alba Martínez, José; Berjano, Enrique(Informa Healthcare, 2012-02)
Purpose: To study the relationship between roll-off (sudden increase in impedance) and spatial distribution of dehydrated tissue during RF ablation using a cooled electrode (temperatures around 100°C).
Methods: We used ...
[EN] Cooled Balloon Prevents Thermal Injury During RF Ablation.
Introduction: The use of a cooled intraesophageal balloon has recently been proposed to minimize the risk of thermal injury in the esophagus during radiofrequency ...
Purpose: Although theoretical modelling is widely used to study different aspects of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), its utility is directly related to its realism. An important factor in this realism is the use of mathematical ...
González Suárez, Ana; Pérez, Juan J; Berjano, Enrique(Springer (Biomed Central Ltd.), 2018)
[EN] Background: Although accurate modeling of the thermal performance of irrigated-tip electrodes in radiofrequency cardiac ablation requires the solution of a triple coupled problem involving simultaneous electrical ...
