    摘要: An electrosurgical access catheter for assisting a physician perform an ancillary surgical procedure on a region of interest (ROI) in a patient has a tubular shaped elongate shaft and a ring-shaped active electrode located at the distal end. A passageway extends from the proximal section to the distal end of the shaft, and through the ring-shaped active electrode. The proximal section of the elongate shaft is detachably coupled to an electrosurgical controller such that the ring-shaped active electrode is operable with the electrosurgical controller and a dispersive electrode to electrosurgically make a circular-shaped incision through a tissue wall, carving a cylindrical-shaped tissue plug as the ring-shaped active electrode is advanced through the wall. The access sheath is advanced through the surgically created opening and without further dilation of the opening. The invention has particular applicability to the lung, and minimally invasive bronchoscopic procedures. Related methods are also described.

    摘要: A lung tumor ablation planning system includes a processor operable to compute a target ablation zone and a set of optimum ablation parameters to create the target lesion with the ablation catheter. A predictive algorithm is employed to model the ablation zone based on training data. Various ablation plans are displayed to the physician corresponding to various metrics including without limitation maximizing tumor ablation coverage, shortest travel, obstacle avoidance, and shortest ablation time. Related methods are described.
