RFA questions

I had a couple of questions pop up and wanted your opinions. 1. Patients with implants such as pacemaker/defibrillator, what kind of precautions do you take when performing RFA in this population? Do you put a magnet over the implanted device, perform bipolar RFA, or do you just avoid RFA in this case altogether? 2. Cervical RFAs - are any of you using the coolief needles to do this with the 2mm active tip?
