Relationship between luminal esophageal temperature and volume of esophageal injury during RF ablation: In silico study comparing low power-moderate duration vs. high power-short duration.

LPMD is associated with a larger total volume of esophageal damage due to the greater total RF energy delivery. HPSD and VHPVSD shows significant thermal latency (resulting from conductive tissue heating after RF termination), suggesting a requirement for fewer esophageal temperature cutoffs during ablation.
