Lesion Index-Guided Ablation Facilitates Continuous, Transmural, and Durable Lesions in a Porcine Recovery Model [Original Articles]

Conclusions:
In this model of chronic atrial ablation, delivery of uninterrupted transmural linear lesions may be facilitated by using LSI to guide catheter movement. When LSI between adjacent lesions is ≤1.5 mm, no gaps in atrial linear lesions should be expected.
