Disturbing effect of intra-tissue temperature sensors in pre-clinical experimental studies of radiofrequency cardiac ablation: A computer-based modeling study
(MDPI, 2023-04-11)Background: Preclinical studies on radiofrequency (RF) cardiac ablation (RFCA) use very small temperature sensors in specific positions in the tissue subjected to RF heating. Despite the sensors¿ small size, the proximity ... -
Relationship between mechanical deformation and contact force applied by a catheter tip on cardiac muscle: Experimentation and computer modeling
(IEEE, 2023-08-25)The cardiac muscle is elastic and deformable. Pushing a catheter in contact with the cardiac muscle surface to conduct focal energy-based ablative therapies, such as RF ablation, requires an adequate electrode-tissue contact ...
