Clinical implications
There are few studies on LI drops by RF applications and lesion size
considering the catheter contact angle. We found that the LI drop was an
important factor for creating an effective RF lesion with 2 different
LI-sensing catheters. In addition, we demonstrated that the catheter
contact angles affected the LI drop and lesion size. The results of this
study would be helpful to create effective RF lesions with a
comprehension of the LI drop at each catheter angle.
