Real-time magnetic resonance-guided radiofrequency ablation and lesion evaluation in an magnetic resonance-compatible isolated beating pig heart platform
This study demonstrates the feasibility of real-time MR-guided ablation in a beating pig heart platform. The setup allows high-resolution lesion assessment and histologic correlation, supporting future developments in MR-guided therapies.
