    摘要: The disclosed technology includes a medical probe comprising a tubular shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, the tubular shaft extending along a longitudinal axis. The medical probe further comprises an expandable basket assembly coupled to the distal end of the tubular shaft. The basket assembly includes a plurality of electrodes with each electrode of the plurality of electrodes having a lumen therethrough. The basket assembly further includes a plurality of spines extending along the longitudinal axis and configured to bow radially outward from the longitudinal axis when the expandable basket assembly is transitioned from a collapsed form to an expanded form. Each spine includes a proximal and a distal end and a strut passing through the lumen of an electrode. The strut includes a mechanical retainer disposed on the strut to prevent the electrode from sliding proximally or distally along a length of the spine.

    摘要: The disclosed technology includes an apparatus to a grip a catheter shaft including a body including a proximal end extending along a central axis to a distal end. The body can include a first handle portion, a second handle portion, and a catheter shaft grip aperture. The first handle portion can define a first recess extending along the central axis of the body from the proximal end to the distal end. The second handle portion can define a second recess extending along the central axis of the body from the proximal end to the distal end such that the first recess is aligned with the second recess. The catheter shaft grip aperture can extend along the central axis of the body from the proximal end to the distal end, be formed from the alignment of the first recess and the second recess, and be sized to receive a catheter shaft.

    摘要: A system includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a lesion parameter indicative of a specification of a lesion intended to be formed in tissue of an organ using at least one of first and second ablation modes intended to be applied sequentially to multiple sections of the tissue. The processor is configured to (i) select, for the first and second ablation modes, first and second sets of parameters, respectively, that when applied to the tissue, form the lesion having the lesion parameter, (ii) detect, for a section selected among the multiple sections, whether the first or second ablation mode has been selected, and (iii) control a catheter having at least an ablation electrode, to apply to the section ablation signals that are based on the selected ablation mode and are corresponding to the first or second ablation modes.
