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 the maximum blood temperature. ...

[EN] Purpose:Most modeling studies on radiofrequency cardiac ablation (RFCA) are based on limited-domain models, which means the computational domain is restricted to a few centimeters of myocardium and blood around the ...
[EN] Background: Preclinical studies on radiofrequency (RF) cardiac ablation (RFCA) use very
small temperature sensors in specific positions in the tissue subjected to RF heating. Despite the
sensors' small size, the ...
[EN] Purpose
To assess the effect of intracardiac blood flow pulsatility on tissue and blood distributions during radiofrequency (RF) cardiac ablation (RFCA).
Methods
A three-dimensional computer model was used to ...
[EN] Purpose
While the standard setting during radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) consists of applying low power for long times, a new setting based on high power and short duration (HPSD) has recently been suggested ...
[EN] Purpose While radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) creates a lesion consisting of the tissue points subjected to lethal heating, the sublethal heating (SH) undergone by the surrounding tissue can cause transient ...

[EN] The electrical impedance measured during radiofrequency cardiac ablation (RFCA) is widely used in clinical studies to predict the heating evolution and hence the success of the procedure. We hypothesized that a model ...
[EN] Purpose: The thermal effect of the intramyocardial blood perfusion on the size of lesions created by radiofrequency cardiac ablation (RFCA) has not been adequately studied to date. Our objective was to assess the ...
[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 ...
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 ...
