ATRIAL DEFIBRILLATION USING A NOVEL EPICARDIAL COOLING DEVICE: A COOL NEW SMALL TECHNOLOGY

Myocardial cooling slows cardiac electrical conduction and can be potentially used as a painless modality for cardiac defibrillation. In this study, we assess the efficacy of a new small cooling device applied to the oblique sinus for termination of atrial arrhythmias. Sternotomy was performed
