Direct cooling of the catheter tip increases safety for CMR-guided electrophysiological procedures

BACKGROUND: One of the safety concerns when performing electrophysiological (EP) procedures under magnetic resonance (MR) guidance is the risk of passive tissue heating due to the EP catheter being exposed to the radiofrequency (RF) field of the RF transmitting body coil. Ablation procedures that us...
