Cary Hata,Thu Xuan Tran,Alan de la Rama,Tho Hoang Nguyen,Irvin John Narciso,Peter Chen,Hanh Ngoc Do +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an irrigated catheter ablation apparatus consisting of an elongated body having a distal end, a proximal end, and at least one fluid lumen extending longitudinally therein; and a plurality of segmented ablation electrodes on the distal portion of the body is described.
Patent
Ultrasound ablation apparatus with discrete staggered ablation zones
TL;DR: In this paper, an ultrasonic transducer consisting of a cylindrical shape, a plurality of external electrodes disposed on the outer surface of the piezoelectric element, and at least one internal electrode disposed opposite the external electrodes with respect to the internal electrodes, is described.
Patent
Non-contact tissue ablation device and methods thereof
TL;DR: A catheter for ablating body tissue of the interior regions of the heart includes a handle assembly, a shaft, and a distal tip section coupled to the distal end of the shaft as discussed by the authors.
Patent
Arrangement and interface for rf ablation system with acoustic feedback
TL;DR: A system for ablation with acoustic feedback comprises an elongated catheter body, at least one ablation element to ablate a targeted tissue region, and a pulse-echo ultrasonic transducer arranged to emit and receive an acoustic beam along a centroid in a beam direction as discussed by the authors.
