Inverse relationship between electrode size and lesion size during radiofrequency ablation with active electrode cooling

Clinical efficacy has driven the use of larger electrodes (7F, length > or =4 mm) for radiofrequency ablation, which reduces electrogram resolution and causes variability in tissue contact depending on electrode orientation. With active cooling, ablation electrode size may be reduced. The purpose...
