The relationship between contact force and clinical outcome during radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in the TOCCATA study

Abstract

The clinical efficacy of catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) remains limited by difficulty in achieving durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Suboptimal catheter tip-to-tissue contact force (CF) during lesion delivery is believed to reduce clinical efficacy.
