Abstract

Monitoring catheter tip temperature and closed loop control of power output are useful to avoid excessive heating at the tissue surface, that may result in coagulum formation, and to accomplish effective heating at the target area. However, the catheter tip temperature is affected by cooling effects and electrode-tissue contact and thus poorly correlated to lesion size. New means should be developed to assess tissue temperatures during radiofrequency delivery to achieve predictable and reproducible lesions.
