Influence of the irrigation flow pattern and catheter tip design on the lesion formation: an ex vivo experimental model

ConclusionThe lesion formation and lesion surface characteristics differed among the different irrigation tip designs. An auto-regulated irrigation system did not affect the lesion creation or surface lesion characteristics. Care should be given to the inter-product differences in the lesion characteristics during RF catheter ablation, partly due to the irrigation flow control and tip design.
