Contrasting effects of convective flow on catheter ablation lesion size: cryo versus radiofrequency energy.

BACKGROUND: Cryoablation has now become an alternative to treat many cardiac arrhythmias, and may be the treatment of choice in some patient populations. We compared the effects of convective flow on large-tip cryo and radiofrequency (RF) lesions dimensions. METHODS: Cryoablation and RF ablation wer...
