Computational modeling of open-irrigated electrodes for radiofrequency cardiac ablation including blood motion-saline flow interaction

González-Suárez A.; Berjano E.; Guerra Ramos J.M.; Gerardo-Giorda L. (PLoS One, 2016)

Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a routine treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. During RFCA, the electrode-tissue interface temperature should be kept below 80°C to avoid thrombus formation. Open-irrigated electrodes ...

Computational Model for Prediction of the Occurrence of Steam Pops during Irrigated Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

González-Suárez A.; Berjano E.; Guerra Ramos J.M.; Gerardo-Giorda L. (Computing in Cardiology 43, 2016)

Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a curative treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. Although globally a pretty safe procedure, it may present some risk. Steam pop is a serious complication that can occur during RFCA ...
