Figure 1. DiamondTemp Catheter - the temperature-controlled RF ablation catheter contains 6 thermocouples that are equally, radially spaced and a diamond shunt network to facilitate the rapid conduction of thermal energy.
Figure 2. 3D electroanatomical map of the left atrium with PVI lesion set. Ipsilateral PV pairs were isolated with a single wide-area circumferential antral ablation (WACAA) lesions. Red dots – left PVs WACAA, blue dots – right PVs WACAA, yellow dots – the place of isolation of individual pair of PVs.
Figure 3 Graphical comparison of the total ablation time of the TRAC-AF (ACT DiamondTemp Temperature-Controlled and Contact Sensing RF Ablation Clinical Trial for Atrial Fibrillation) study and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation studies using standard irrigated contact force catheters (the TactiCath arm of the TOCCASTAR (TactiCath Contact Force Ablation Catheter Study for Atrial Fibrillation), and the Thermocool arm of the Heartlight clinical trial). PVI = pulmonary vein isolation; RF = radiofrequency.
