ESTIMATING PROGRESS OF IRREVERSIBLE ELECTROPORATION ABLATION BASED ON AMPLITUDE OF MEASURED BIPOLAR SIGNALS

摘要

The method includes coupling at least a pair of electrodes of an ablation catheter to a target tissue, wherein in a first stage of the ablation procedure, a first bipolar signal having a first amplitude is received from the pair of electrodes, the ablation procedure comprising: In a second stage of , a second bipolar signal having a second amplitude is received from this pair of electrodes, and based on the first and second amplitudes, at least a parameter indicative of the progress of the ablation procedure is estimated.
