Patent
Probes having helical and loop shaped inflatable therapeutic elements
TL;DR: In this article, a probe body and an inflatable helical or loop shaped therapeutic element are used to facilitate the creation of circumferential lesions in body tissue, and the procedure is described.
Patent
Catheter for electrophysiological procedures
TL;DR: In this article, a catheter adapted to perform electrophysiological procedures comprises a body member, a manipulation handle attached to the proximal end of the body member for applying torque to the body members, the handle having a control knob adapted for control movements in a first plane and in a second plane simultaneously.
Patent
Medical probes for creating and diagnosing circumferential lesions within or around the ostium of a vessel
TL;DR: In this paper, an ablation probe with an ablative structure can be placed in contact within or around the ostium of the vessel, and a diagnostic probe can be introduced through a lumen within the probe and inserted into the vessel.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method for treating anatomic tissue defects such as patent foramen ovale by exposing a housing and energy transmission member from the distal end of a catheter, engaging the housing with tissues at the site of the defect, applying suction or other approximating tool to the tissue via the housing to bring the tissue together, and applying energy to the tissues with the energy transmission members or to deliver a clip or fixation device to substantially close the defect.
