Half-normal Saline vs Normal Saline for Irrigation of Open-irrigated Radiofrequency Catheters in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
The study evaluates the use of half-normal saline as an irrigant for open-irrigated catheters
during atrial fibrillation ablation. By increasing the efficacy of radiofrequency
energy-mediated lesion formation, half-normal saline has the potential to reduce procedural
times and improved acute and long-term outcomes.
