Computational Modeling of Open-Irrigated Electrodes for Radiofrequency Cardiac Ablation Including Blood Motion-Saline Flow Interaction
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a routine treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. During RFCA, the electrode-tissue interface temperature should be kept below 80 °C to avoid thrombus formation. Open-irrigated electrodes facilitate power delivery while keeping low temperatures around the catheter. No computational model of an open-irrigated electrode in endocardial RFCA accounting for both...
متن کاملNumerical analysis of thermal impact of intramyocardial capillary blood flow during radiofrequency cardiac ablation.
PURPOSE The thermal effect of the intramyocardial blood perfusion on the size of lesions created by radiofrequency cardiac ablation (RFCA) has not been adequately studied to date. Our objective was to assess the impact of including this phenomenon in RFCA computer modelling in terms of the thermal lesion depth created. METHODS A computer model was built and computer simulations were conducted...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation guided by intracardiac echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency catheter ablation requires precise positioning of the ablation electrode. Fluoroscopically guided catheter manipulation has limitations, and there are risks of radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of guiding catheter ablation within the right atrium with catheter-based intracardiac echocardiography. METHODS AND RESULTS A 10F, 1...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia guided by intracardiac echocardiography.
AIMS Ventricular tachycardia (VT) frequently has an anatomical substrate. Identification of areas prone to arrhythmogenicity facilitates radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Furthermore, direct monitoring of complications potentially increases safety of RFCA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of guiding RFCA of VT with intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), in order to imp...
متن کاملI-46: Radiofrequency Ablation of Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are benign solid tumors that are present in the majority of women. While often asymptomatic, fibroids can result in abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, subfertility, dyspareunia and other symptoms. Submucous and intramural fibroids are most associated with heavy menstrual bleeding; subserosal fibroids are more often innocuous unless sufficiently large so as to con...
