Figure Lengend Snippet: Study design. (A) The current study comprised a series of experiments to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irrigation in VLCC. The corresponding examination was listed in the table. (B) The irrigation effect through 0 to 60 mL/min was presented by infusing a dye-colored solvent under a high-speed camera (1000 fps) in the same moment.

Article Snippet: A variable-loop circular catheter (VLCC) with an adjustable irrigation system (VARIPULSE, Biosense Webster, Irvine, CA, USA) and a three-dimensional electro-anatomical system (Carto 3, Biosense Webster, Irvine, CA, USA) was used throughout the experiments.
Techniques: Solvent, Magnetic Resonance Imaging
