    摘要: In one exemplary mode, a system includes a progressive cavity pump (PCP) comprising a housing, a rotor, a stator, and ports, one port being configured to be connected to an irrigation reservoir, an ablation catheter comprising at least one ablation electrode, at least one irrigation hole, and an irrigation channel having a distal end connected to the irrigation hole(s), and a proximal end configured to be connected to another port of the PCP, a motor comprising a drive shaft which is configured to be connected to the PCP, and drive rotation of, the rotor of the progressive cavity pump, and a controller configured to control a rotatory speed of the motor to control a flow rate of the PCP so as to pump irrigation fluid from the irrigation reservoir into the irrigation channel and out of the irrigation hole(s) of the ablation catheter.
