Dangerous, too. But I feel likewise about using a nonirrigated system for AF or ischemic VT, where (a) your chances of getting a deep enough lesion are Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-61703966604059331282012-02-26T09:20:20.998-06:002012-02-26T09:20:20.998-06:00Anony -

Still using duodeca in RA and quad in CS.<br /><br />Wolff's are done about the same (although they're pretty rare now).
