Power Versus Temperature Controlled Ablation for Treatment of VT

The DiamondTemp catheter is a new ablation catheter that uses 6 industrial grade diamonds to actually measure the temperature of the surface tissue being cauterised. This enables the DiamondTemp catheter to control the amount of power being delivered from the ablation catheter into the tissue being ablated by maintaining a constant temperature at the surface of the heart.

The Tactiflex ablation catheter is currently the market leader and routinely used for VT ablation.
