Electrophysiologic Procedure
A summary of procedural findings is displayed in Figure 2. Average
procedure time did not differ between the CF procedures and the controls
(CF 2.01 ± 0.48 hr, control 1.53 ± 0.48 hr, p = 0.37), and we also did
not find a difference in the average successful lesion time (CF 50 ± 30
sec, control 42 ± 24 sec, p = 0.105). There was great variability in the
time spent mapping and ablating the pathway in both the CF and control
cohorts, yielding no significant difference between them (CF 46.87 ±
47.8 min, control 50.47 ± 49.7 min, p = 0.689) Similar variation was
also observed in the total number of lesions delivered, yielding an
average of 7 ± 6 (p = 0.89) for both CF and control.
