Mini Electrodes on Ablation Catheters: Valuable Addition or Redundant Information?—Insights from a Computational Study
Radiofrequency ablation has become a first-line approach for curative therapy of many cardiac arrhythmias. Various existing catheter designs provide high spatial resolution to identify the best spot for performing ablation and to assess lesion formation. However, creation of transmural and nonconduc...
