A variety of microwave applicators were designed, fabricated and tested for catheter applications: I-radiators, U-radiators, O-radiators, forward helical coil radiator, reverse helical coil, double coil radiator, loaded monopole radiator, leaky coaxial radiator and tee radiators. The comparative and relative radiation characteristics of these applicators were tested in a saline bath and tissues. Most radiators designed produced larger lesions than have been described previously.

D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
