Difference in Microembolic Signals Between Flex‐Tip Versus Non‐Flex‐Tip Type Catheters During High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation
Flex-tip catheter ablation significantly reduced MES detections, particularly in the bubble-type MESs, compared with the non-flex-tip catheter ablation at 50 W. This may indicate safe HPSD ablation with the flex-tip type catheter.
