Comparison of the ablation parameters between two groups
Figure 2 shows the comparison of the ablation parameters between the
touch up sites and control sites. All parameters at the touch up sites
were significantly lower than those at the control sites (touch up site
vs. control sites; energy delivery time, sec, 20.3 [12.3-21.7] vs.
21.6 [19.8-25.2], p=0.0003; power, W, 23.5 [15-24] vs. 24
[20-25], p<0.0001; CF, g, 7 [6-10.8] vs.11
[9-15],p<0.0001; FTI, 126.5 [99.3-208.8] vs. 244
[183.5-340.5],p<0.0001; AI, 277.2±21.8 vs. 350.2±42.8 ,
p<0.0001). The median
value of the AI at the control sites was 350 and the maximum value of
the AI at touch up sites was 308.
