AbstractSaline irrigation cooling creates larger and deeper radiofrequency (RF) ablation lesions, but is limited by the requirement for an above-freezing temperature of irrigated saline. A cryothermal cooling source may overcome this limitation to increase the lesion dimension and reduce the risk of thrombus formation. METHODS: We compared the lesion dimensions created by 1) RF and 2) salineirrigated RF (SI RF) using a 7 F, 4mm tip electrode catheter, 3) cryoablation (Cryo) and 4) cryothermal cooled RF (Cryo+RF) using a 10 F, 6.5 mm tip electrode catheter and Cryo system (CryoCor, CA) in vertical (V) or horizontal (H) orientiation to a thigh muscle preparation. All 3 modes of RF were delivered for 1 minute at 50W & 60°C, and Cryo was delivered with double-5 minutes freeze-thaw cycles. RESULTS: Of 211 (V=106, H=105) created, SI RF and Cryo+RF created deeper lesion than RF or Cryo application alone (Fig, p< 0.05). In all 4 modes of application, lesions diameter were greater with V than H orientation (Fig, p<0.05). Cryo and Cryo+RF were associated with a significant lower incidence of thrombus formation on the lesions compared with RF and SI RF (0/87vs.26/124, p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Cryothermal cooling during RF application resulted in a similar lesion dimension as SI RF. Both Cryo+RF and SI RF created significantly deeper lesions than Cryo, and significantly deeper and larger lesions than RF. The use of Cryo and Cryo+RF were associated with a lower risk of thrombus formation than RF and SI.
