Thermal impact of balloon occlusion of the coronary sinus during mitral isthmus radiofrequency ablation: an in-silico study

Purpose: Although experimental data have suggested that temporary occlusion of the coronary sinus (CS) can facilitate the creation of transmural lesions across the atrial wall (AW) during mitral isthmus radiofrequency (RF) ablation, no computer modeling study has yet been made on the effect of the b...
