Contact force analysis by location
A total of 3157 lesions were analyzed with a mean of 105.2 ± 33.1 lesions per patient. Overall, mean CF achieved during ablation of right-sided pulmonary veins was 17% higher (p = 0.001; Figure 2A) than for left-sided pulmonary veins. CF variability within each lesion was 19% higher in right-sided veins than left-sided veins (p = 0.001; Figure 2B).
