Late left ventricular summit premature ventricular contractions elimination with new TactiFlex irrigation technology
Late PVCs elimination could be due to the porous flexible distal tip design of the TactiFlex catheter that allows deeper RF penetration in the myocardium due to a greater adhesion of the saline irrigation system to tissue. It is reasonable to assume that this new technology makes lesions more transmural, determining a delayed lesion maturation, thus not limited to the duration of energy delivery.
