To the Editor — Temperature measurement from both electrodes during bipolar radiofrequency ablation—It is feasible

We have read with interest a recent HRS/EHRA/APHRS/LAHRS expert consensus statement on catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias, particularly a chapter on bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation. The authors state that one of the limitations of this emerging approach is the fact that temperature measurements can be obtained only from 1 of 2 catheters used.1 Actually this can be done if temperature data from the thermistor located at the tip of catheter used as a ground are transferred to a temperature monitor (ie, a second radiofrequency generator).
