    摘要: An apparatus for delivering energy to a biological site includes a catheter having a plurality of electrodes, the electrodes positioned proximal the biological site. A power control system supplies power signals, each having a controllable phase angle, to each of the electrodes such that the phase between electrodes alternates. A backplate is also positioned proximal the biological site so that the biological site is interposed between the electrode device and the backplate. The backplate is maintained at one voltage level in relation to the power. The power control system controls the phase angle of the power so that the current flow between the electrodes and between the electrodes and the backplate results in the continuity and depth of lesions desired. In a preferred embodiment, the electrodes are arranged in a substantially linear array. The duty cycle of each electrode is controlled and during the off period of the duty cycle, the phase angles of adjacent electrodes are alternated to achieve a more uniform ablation volume.

    摘要: An energy delivery system and method controls the frequency of the power driving an ultrasonic device to achieve more efficient power delivery. During operation of the ultrasonic device to deliver power to a patient site, the system and method automatically sweeps the drive power through a frequency range, locates the series and parallel resonance frequencies, calculates the average of those frequencies and locks the power generator at that average frequency to drive the crystal. This frequency sweep procedure occurs automatically when the ultrasonic crystal is located at the patient site and the power generator operator presses the power-on switch to apply power. The method of tuning the power generator thus occurs when the crystal is at the site temperature and is transparent to the operator. The application of an external bio-layer to the crystal increases its bandwidth and its robustness. Mounting a temperature sensor or sensors at the crystal permits monitoring of the crystal temperature and allows drive level control over the power generator to control the temperature at the crystal.

    摘要: A catheter carries a plurality of electrodes, each with multiple thermal sensors attached and is used to position the electrodes proximal biological tissue. A processor responsive to each of the thermal sensors determines the temperature at the thermal-sensor/electrode junction. A display provides a graphic representation of the temperatures of the thermal-sensor/electrode junctions. An exemplary representation is a bar graph having the temperature of one thermal sensor at one end and the temperature of another thermal sensor at the other end. The length of the bar graph combined with the position of the bar graph relative to a temperature range region provides an indication of the position of the thermal-sensor/electrode junctions relative to the biological tissue. The processor also monitors the spread between the sensor temperatures and compares it to a threshold value. Base on the result of the comparison, the processor controls the power applied to the electrode.

    摘要: An apparatus for delivering energy to a biological site includes a catheter having a plurality of electrodes positioned proximal the biological site. A power control system supplies power to each electrode. Where an electrode or group of electrodes is turned off, the power control system provides a high impedance to the turned off electrodes so that substantially no current flows to those electrodes from other electrodes that may remain on. This permits the electrodes turned off to cool. The power control system may permit control over the phase and duty cycle of the power applied to the electrodes and may permit individual control over the power provided to each electrode. A backplate is also positioned proximal the biological site so that the biological site is interposed between the electrodes and the backplate. Where a unipolar/bipolar approach is used with the backplate, the power control system controls the phase angle of the power applied to the electrodes so that the current flows between the electrodes and between the electrodes and the backplate.

    摘要: An apparatus for delivering energy to a biological site includes a catheter having a plurality of electrodes arranged in a linear array, the electrodes positioned proximal the biological site. A power control system supplies power, each having a controllable duty cycle and phase angle, to each of the electrodes. A backplate is also positioned proximal the biological site so that the biological site is interposed between the electrode device and the backplate. The backplate is maintained at the reference voltage level in relation to the power. The power control system controls the phase angle of each power signal so that current flows between the electrodes and between the electrodes and the backplate results. Temperature sensors are located at the electrodes and each shares a common lead with the power circuitry. The temperature sensor signal is received by the power control system during the off-period of the duty cycle of the particular electrode.
