Device, system and method to ablate cardiac tissue

Abstract

A method that includes selectively positioning an ablation catheter system at a treatment site comprising cardiac tissue, ablating cardiac tissue at the treatment site with the ablation catheter system using a power setting of approximately 90 W applied to tissue for approximately four (4) seconds to achieve a target electrode temperature, and achieving approximately zero incidence of steam pop occurrence in both left and right atrial ablations and complete pulmonary vein isolation, by the ablation catheter system, for all patients of a predetermined patient population suffering from paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
