Conclusion
The values of LI drop and lesion width at 90° were significantly smaller than those at 30° at the same ablation setting, although the lesion depths were not different among the 3 angles for the MiFi and the STABLEPOINT. They were correlated with maximum lesion width and lesion depth at any angle, which could be a good predictor of the lesion size by RF applications.
