Figure 9From: Simulation and evaluation of freeze-thaw cryoablation scenarios for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias Isotherms of transmural temperatures and ice volumes for varying initial freezing phase durations. Isotherms of transmural temperatures (a) and iceball volumes (b) over time for ablation protocols with 10 s thawing phase starting after different initial freezing durations and a cumulated freezing duration of 300 s.Back to article page
