Tissue drives lesion: computational evidence of interspecies variability in cardiac radiofrequency ablation
(2019)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is widely used for the treatment of various types of cardiac arrhythmias. Typically, the efficacy and the safety of the ablation protocols used in the clinics are derived from tests ...
How does radiofrequency ablation efficacy depend on the stiffness of the cardiac tissue? Insights from a computational model
(2019)
Objective. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective treatment for the
elimination of cardiac arrhythmias, however it is not exempt from complications that can
risk the patients’ life. The efficacy of the ...
Effect of Tissue Elasticity in Cardiac Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation Models
(2018)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective treatment for different types of cardiac arrhythmias. However, major complications can occur, including thrombus formation and steam pops. We present a full 3D ...
A computational model of open-irrigated radiofrequency catheter ablation accounting for mechanical properties of the cardiac tissue
(2018)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. Although generally safe, it is not completely exempt from the risk of complications. The great flexibility of computational models ...
