Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a medical device for treating a cancerous tumor, the medical device having a first lead including a first wire and second wire; a second lead can include a third wire and fourth wire; and a first electrode in electrical communication with the first wire, a second electrode in electrical communication with the second wire, a third electrode in electrical communication with the third wire, and a fourth electrode in electrical communication with the fourth wire. The first and third electrodes form a supply electrode pair configured to deliver one or more electric fields to the cancerous tumor. The second and fourth electrodes form a sensing electrode pair configured to measure an impedance of the cancerous tumor independent of an impedance of the first electrode, the first wire, the third electrode, the third wire, and components in electrical communication therewith. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method for treating a cancerous tumor located within a subject. The method can include applying one or more electric fields at or near a site of the cancerous tumor, where the cancerous tumor can include a cancerous cell population. The one or more applied electric fields are effective to delay mitosis and cause mitotic synchronization within a proportion of the cancerous cell population. The method can include removing the one or more electric fields to allow mitosis to proceed within the cancerous cell population. The method can include administering a chemotherapeutic agent to the subject after the one or more electric fields have been removed. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: A medical system may include a left atrial appendage closure device including an expandable framework and a proximal hub centered on a central longitudinal axis of the framework. An insert may be disposed within the proximal hub and include a collar configured to engage the proximal hub, a recess extending into the insert from a proximal end, and a post member disposed within the recess. The post member may be radially spaced apart from the collar and may extend proximally from a distal end of the recess to a proximal surface. The insert may include a first connection structure disposed distal of the proximal surface. The medical system may include a delivery catheter having a second connection structure configured to engage the first connection structure in a delivery configuration. The distal end of the delivery catheter includes a hollow portion configured to receive the post member in the delivery configuration.
