Ninety\u2010six ablations were performed in four greyhounds using bipolar ablation needles with ILDs of 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm. An epicardial approach was used to ensure accurate positioning of the needles within the myocardium. Lesions were created using temperature\u2010controlled RF delivery for a duration of 60 seconds to achieve 90\u00b0C at the electrode proximal to the needle base. Lesion dimensions were determined histologically.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Increasing the ILD, decreased lesion width (P = 0.003) but increased lesion depth (P = 0.001). Lesions remained continuous with ILDs of 1\u20133 mm but became discontinuous at 4 mm. Energy requirements during ablation increased with increasing ILDs.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Using the above parameters (electrode radius, RF power delivery, time) during bipolar ablation, lesion continuity was critically dependent on the ILD. The maximum ILD threshold to create contiguous overlapping lesions was 3 mm. Lesions of greater width were created using shorter ILDs. Clinically, greater control over lesion dimensions can be obtained by manipulating the ILD distance.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.2005.09446.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,9]],"date-time":"2005-06-09T12:54:55Z","timestamp":1118321695000},"page":"514-520","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Effect of Inter\u2010electrode Distance on Bipolar Intramural Radiofrequency Ablation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"PRAMESH","family":"KOVOOR","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MICHAEL","family":"DALY","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JIM","family":"POULIOPOULOS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.
