Abstract

Reports on an examination of dose responses and energy requirements for transmural lesions following isthmus ablation with a novel microwave catheter in dogs. Capability of microwave energy to heat large tissue volumes; Creation of lesions in experimental settings; Generation of a consistent lesion in atrial tissue sufficient for electrical isolation of adjacent regions.
