Insurance lesions: Does a second lesion make a difference?

Multiple ablations created with the same power and time, delivered within 30 s of each other at the same exact location, offer no meaningful benefit in lesion depth or width over single ablations, with the exception of ventricular ablation at 30 W for 50 s. Given the risks associated with excessive ablation, our results suggest that this practice should be re-evaluated by clinical electrophysiologists.
