How does radiofrequency ablation efficacy depend on the stiffness of the cardiac tissue? Insights from a computational model

Petras, A.; Leoni, M.; Guerra, J.M.; Jansson, J.; Gerardo-Giorda, L. (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 ...

A computational model of open-irrigated radiofrequency catheter ablation accounting for mechanical properties of the cardiac tissue

Petras, A.; Leoni, M.; Guerra Ramos, J.M.; Jansson, J.; Gerardo-Giorda, L. (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 ...
