Chronic Histological Transmurality of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2012 We evaluated histologic results for surgical left maze with an high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy source. Two patients came to our attention 6 and 48 months, respectively, after ablation concomitant to a valve procedure. Tissue specimens, obtained from the lesion site on the mitral isthmus and from the "box lesion" around the pulmonary ...
