| Popis: | Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus is the standard treatment for patients suffering from typical atrial flutter. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of tissue thickness and lesion transmurality measurement by a novel dielectric system. This was a retrospective multicentric non-randomized open-label, single-arm study. The atrial wall thickness was significantly higher close to the tricuspid annulus than close to the inferior vena cava and a trend towards a progressive decrease of atrial wall thickness was observed moving the mapping catheter from the tricuspid valve to the inferior vena cava. The possibility to visualize the tissue thickness could modify the way to deliver radiofrequency energy, allowing a tailored approach in cardiac ablation procedures. |
