Basket-Type Catheters: Diagnostic Pitfalls Caused by Deformation and Limited Coverage

Figure 2

Interspline distances in clinical data. The interspline distance was assessed in all four positions and sorted in decreasing order. Considering RA positions (a, b), the distances between all splines for all except one catheter were below 20 mm, reflecting a rather undeformed state. In both LA positions (c, d), several splines showed distances of more than 20 mm while other splines were close-by with distances below 10 mm.
