Abstract

Coronary arteries remain free of clinically relevant damage 3 weeks after epicardial IRE ablation, even amid very large myocardial lesions. This suggests that IRE ablation can be applied safely near or even on coronary arteries. With IRE ablation, arterial blood flow does not appear to affect lesion formation.
