DOI: 10.1111/jce.14313
Abstract: Optimal radiofrequency‐generated thermal energy applications have not been established for hot balloon ablation (HBA) systems. We investigated the feasibility of real‐time monitoring of pulmonary vein (PV) potentials and optimal time‐to‐isolation (TTI)‐guided application strategies in HBAs. read more here.
