Thirty\u2010four VTs were inducible in 10 patients with a total of 1127 ablation lesions applied. Median ablation lesions per patient were 97 (interquartile range [IQR]<jats:sub>25\u201075<\/jats:sub> 71\u2010151), and the total ablation time was 49 minutes (IQR<jats:sub>25\u201075<\/jats:sub> 45\u201056 minutes) with average duration per lesion of 32.2 seconds (IQR<jats:sub>25\u201075<\/jats:sub> 25.8\u201037.8 seconds). Average power was 33 W (IQR<jats:sub>25\u201075<\/jats:sub> 32\u201038 W), average contact force was 13\u00a0g (IQR<jats:sub>25\u201075<\/jats:sub> 11.9\u201014.6\u00a0g) with a median impedance drop of 9.6 \u03a9\/lesion (IQR<jats:sub>25\u201075<\/jats:sub> 8.1\u201010.0 \u03a9). There were no ventricular fibrillation episodes using this strategy. The median procedure time was 246 minutes (IQR<jats:sub>25\u201075<\/jats:sub> 214\u2010293 minutes).
