    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatus, systems, and methods for ablating tissue in a patient by electroporation. Embodiments generally include an ablation catheter having a hand, a shaft, and an electroporation electrode arrangement. The shaft has a distal end and defines a longitudinal axis of the ablation catheter. The electroporation electrode arrangement is at the distal end of the shaft and is configured to generate a multidirectional electric field when at least one pulse sequence is delivered thereto. The multidirectional electric field includes at least two of the following directions relative to the longitudinal axis: generally axial, circumferential, and transverse. The electroporation electrode arrangement is configured to operatively couple to an electroporation generator that is configured to generate the at least one pulse sequence and is configured to receive the at least one pulse sequence from the electroporation generator.

    Abstract: A medical system for removing far-field signals from a unipolar electrical signal is disclosed. In embodiments, the medical system comprises a catheter and a processing device communicatively coupled to the catheter. The catheter comprises a plurality of electrodes configured to sense a plurality of unipolar signals transmitted through tissue. The processing device is configured to: receive the sensed unipolar electrical signals, determine an electrode having a high level of contact with the tissue, and determine an electrode having a lower level of contact with the tissue than the electrode having the high level of contact with the tissue. Further, the processing device is configured to determine a sensed near-field electrical signal based on the unipolar electrical signal received from the electrode having the high level of contact and the unipolar electrical signal received from the electrode having the lower level of contact.
