SHORT COMMUNICATIONS

Voltage analysis after multi-electrode ablation with duty-cycled bipolar and unipolar radiofrequency energy: a case report

Pulmonary vein ablation with a single-tip catheter remains long and complex. We describe a typical case of a novel efficient technique with a decapolar ring catheter utilizing alternating unipolar/bipolar radiofrequency energy. Voltage analysis and electrical mapping demonstrate the potential for antrum ablation and pulmonary vein isolation.
