Relation between denaturation time measured by optical coherence reflectometry and thermal lesion depth during radiofrequency cardiac ablation: Feasibility numerical study

ConclusionsThe computer results confirmed the strong relationship between denaturation time and lesion depth and suggest that measuring denaturation time by PS‐OCR could provide information on the ablation time required to reach a specific lesion depth.
