Permanent destruction of abnormal cardiac tissue responsible for cardiac arrhythmogenesis
whilst avoiding collateral tissue injury forms the cornerstone of catheter ablation therapy. As …

Objectives: This study evaluated the use of half-normal saline (HNS) as the radiofrequency
ablation (RFA) cooling irrigant. Background: Some instances of ventricular arrhythmia may …

Background Successful bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of refractory
ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) has been reported. However, the efficacy, safety, and long …

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 …

Background Interest has grown in recent years in bipolar radiofrequency ablation (B-RFA).
However, indications and outcome in patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) are still to be …

Background: A new grid mapping catheter (GMC)—allowing for bipolar recordings of the
electrograms in each orthogonal direction—became available. The aim of the current study …

Objectives This study sought to examine the effect of the return electrode's surface area on
bipolar RFA lesion size. Background Bipolar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is typically …

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

Compared to traditional unipolar radiofrequency ablation (RFA), bipolar RFA offers
advantages such as more precise heat transfer and higher ablation efficiency. Clinically …
