The effect of half-normal saline irrigation on lesion characteristics in temperature-flow-controlled ablation
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation with half-normal saline (HNS) irrigation is reported to potentially enlarge local lesion compared to normal saline (NS) in power-controlled ablation (PC-Abl). However, the effect o...
