摘要:
A method for monitoring revascularization treatment provided to tissue, such as heart tissue, comprises the steps of identifying a location in tissue and positioning a catheter at the location. Electrical signals of the tissue are measured in order to establish pre-revascularization data wherein the pre-revascularization data is stored. Energy is imparted to the tissue with the catheter in order to create a channel in the tissue at the location. Electrical signals of the tissue are measured after creation of the channel in order to establish post-revascularization data. The pre-revascularization data and the post-revascularization data are compared in order to determine successful treatment to the tissue.
摘要:
Apparatus for PNR treatment, including an elongate probe having a distal end for engaging heart tissue of a subject, and a revascularization device, which imparts energy to the heart tissue for generating perfusion-enhancing channels therein. A sensor provides an indication responsive to the treatment, preferably by receiving signals generated by the body of the subject.
