Mini Electrodes on Ablation Catheters: Valuable Addition or Redundant Information?—Insights from a Computational Study

Figure 4

Movement of the ablation catheter along a linear lesion with a conduction gap in orthogonal (a) and parallel (b) orientation (step size: 0.5 mm). Four different positions of the catheter are shown exemplarily. Arrows indicate the direction of movement from the initial position (dotted line). Myocardium is more transparently shown in front of the linear lesion.
