Top: five animals were treated with the Symplicity Spyral system (group SPY). All animals of this group received 33.2 ± 3.3 ablations in main and branch arteries. The ratio of number of ablations (branch/main) was 1.4 ± 0.7. Middle: five animals were treated with the IberisBloom system (group IBB). All animals of this group received 26.2 ± 3.3 ablations in main and branch arteries. The ratio of number of ablations (branch/main) was 0.9 ± 0.5. Bottom: three animals received sham procedure (Sham Group) with zero ablations. IBB, IberisBloom; SPY, Symplicity Spyral.
