The influence of electrode ‐tissue‐coverage on RF lesion formation and local impedance: Insights from an ex vivo model

ConclusionsETC is a main determinant of lesion size and occurrence of steam pops. Baseline LI and LI-drop are useful surrogate parameters for real-time assessment of ETC and ΔLI correlates strongly with lesion size.
