ATRIAL ABLATION CATHETER ADAPTED FOR TREATMENT OF SEPTAL WALL ARRHYTHMOGENIC FOCI AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

An atrial ablation catheter with an electrode array particularly adapted to locate and ablate foci of arrhythmia which are required for sustained atrial fibrillation is provided. The array is easily deployed and retracted from the catheter, and presents a proximally oriented electrode array that can be pulled against the septal wall of the left atrium to engage the septal wall.
