This first clinical series demonstrated that temperature-controlled irrigated ablation in combination with the novel omnipolar and high-resolution mapping system resulted in rapid, efficient, and durable lesion formation under routine clinical conditions. Randomized controlled trials are needed to elucidate the impact on lesion formation, long-term outcomes, and reproducibility of our initial findings.
