First, an optimal Uni-<sub>EGM</sub> endpoint for predicting a transmural lesion was determined by single RF applications in the smooth and trabeculated portions of the right atrium. We compared termination of RF energy immediately upon observing consistent loss of the negative component (s-wave) on the local unipolar electrogram (U<sub>+0</sub>) versus extending RF delivery for an additional 3 seconds beyond (U<sub>+3</sub>). Next, linear ablation was achieved with either target Ablation Index (AI<sub>400</sub>) or unipolar electrogram (U<sub>+3</sub>) based techniques.
