By Okamatsu H, Okumura K, Tomaru K and 7 others.
Abstract
Background
In very high-power (51-90 W), short-duration (4 s) radiofrequency applications (QMODE+) using the QDOT MICRO catheter, the optimal power setting at the left atrial (LA) posterior wall adjacent to the esophagus for treating atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear.
