Forging Ahead: Update on Radiofrequency Ablation Technology and Techniques. Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology Sandhu, A. n., Nguyen, D. T. 2019

Abstract

Innovations in radiofrequency ablation and non-ablative techniques have led to significant advances in addressing complex arrhythmogenic substrates for a variety of cardiac arrhythmias. Anatomical challenges, deep substrate and mid-myocardial locations may pose difficulties and decrease success rates using routine methods. In this review, we provide an update on novel radiofrequency technology and techniques including (1) high power, low duration ablation, (2) ablation facilitated by low-ionic irrigant and (3) bipolar ablation. In addition, we review emerging technologies including electroporation, needle catheter ablation and ablation with the lattice catheter. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
