In vivo assessment of catheter-tissue contact using tissue proximity indication and its impact on cardiac lesion formation in pulsed field ablation
Consistent TPI-based contact during PFA was strongly associated with distinct chronic transmural lesions, emphasizing the importance of tissue contact in optimizing circumferential lesion formation with circular PFA catheters.
