Fig 10 Duplex ultrasound image shows the ClosureFast radiofrequency ablation catheter with flume, likely representing expulsion of air/saline contained within the internal channel of the catheter as vapor extending to 1.7 cm. CFV, Common femoral vein; CTP, catheter tip positioning; GSV, great saphenous vein.
