Mean RF-time was 8.1+/-2.8min, procedure-duration was 84.5+/-30min. The overall maximal measured catheter-tip temperature was 52.0°C +/- 4.6°C, mean overall applied current was 871mA +/-44mA and over all applied energy was 316J +/-47J. The mean local impedance-drop was 12.1 +/- 2.4 Ohms. During Adenosine challenge n=14 (29%) patients showed dormant conduction. A total of n=24 steam pops were detected in n=18 patients (39.1%), while no pericardial tamponade occurred. No periprocedural thromboembolic complications occurred, while n=4 patients (17.4%) showed silent cerebral lesion.
