Long, narrow electrodes are being considered for radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation; however, preliminary work revealed coagulum formation on the electrodes and lack of lesion continuity. This may be due to the "edge effect," which concentrates radiated energy at sharp geometric gradients. It is proposed that temperature sensors at electrode edges are preferable to a single centered sensor for temperature feedback and monitoring of long electrode geometries.
