Abstract

The authors hypothesized that during RF ablation, the electrode to tissue interface temperature may significantly exceed electrode temperature in the presence of cooling blood flow and produce thrombus. In 12 anesthetized dogs, the skin over the thigh muscle was incised and raised to form a cradle that was superfused with heparinized canine blood (ACT > 350 s) at 37 degrees C. A 7 Fr, 4-mm or 8-mm ablation electrode containing a thermocouple was held perpendicular to the thigh muscle at 10-g contact weight. Interface temperature was measured at opposite sides of the electrode using tiny optical probes. RF applications (n = 157) were delivered at an electrode temperature of 45 degrees C, 55 degrees C, 65 degrees C, and 75 degrees C for 60 seconds, with or without pulsatile blood flow (150 mL/min). Without blood flow, the interface temperature was similar to the electrode temperature. With blood flow, the interface temperature (side opposite blood flow) was up to 36 degrees C and 57 degrees C higher than the electrode temperature using the 4- and 8-mm electrodes, respectively. After each RF, the cradle was emptied and the electrode and interface were examined. Thrombus developed without impedance rise at an interface temperature ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
