Electrophysiological and Histological Evaluation of Acute Efficacy and Safety of Balloon Occlusive Ablation at Superior Vena Cava-Right Atrial Junction

Electrophysiological and Histological Evaluation of Acute Efficacy and Safety of Balloon Occlusive Ablation at Superior Vena Cava-Right Atrial Junction

We evaluated efficacy and safety of occlusive radiofrequency catheter ablation (o-RFA) using our thermal balloon catheter (TBC) at superior vena cava (SVC)-right atrial (RA) junction (SVCJ) compared to that of RFA with a standard-tip catheter. Methods: To electrically isolate (SVCI) SVC from RA in 1...
