    摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate to electrophysiology catheters and methods of using the same. According to one embodiment, the catheter includes a braided conductive member at its distal end that can be radially expanded, for example using a mandrel slidably disposed within a shaft of the catheter. According to another embodiment, the catheter comprises a tip portion constructed of an elastomeric material. According to a further embodiment, the catheter includes a braided conductive member wherein a thermocouple is formed using one filament of the braided conductive member and one thermocouple wire. Other embodiments of the invention relate to a handle for use with a catheter and methods of using the same. According to one embodiment, the handle comprises a thumbwheel coupled to a housing, a spring disposed within the housing in contact with the thumbwheel, and means for increasing compression of the spring to increase rotational friction on the thumbwheel.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for control of ablation energy and electrogram acquisition through multiple common electrodes in an electrophysiology catheter. A device that routes ablation energy to and that routes mapping signals received from an electrophysiology catheter having a plurality of conductive filaments including circuitry that provides, for each conductive filament when ablation energy is being delivered, an electrical signal path that has a low impedance for ablation energy and a high impedance for mapping signals. The device also includes circuitry that provides, for each conductive filament, when mapping signals are being received, an electrical signal path that has a high impedance for ablation energy and low impedance for mapping signals. At least one switch is provided that selectively groups electrodes into sectors for delivery of ablation energy.
