Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Pre-procedure Checklist

Prior to the RF ablation procedure, a mapping catheter is used to identify the sites to be ablated. RF cardiac ablation systems deliver RF energy at the tip of the ablation catheter. Significant resistive heating occurs only at the catheter tip-tissue interface and in a small volume of surrounding tissue. ................
