Design of a Conductive Hydrogel Coating to Improve Catheter–Tissue Coupling in Radiofrequency Ablation

2026-05-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Radiofrequency ablation is a mainstay of cardiac rhythm management despite high recurrence rates. Current radiofrequency ablation catheters are limited by poor contact with trabeculated cardiac tissue that promotes uneven heating with hot spots that cause collateral damage and regions of incomplete ablation that promote recurrence. Herein, we report on a conductive hydrogel coating of radiofrequ...
