    摘要: Laser catheters according to the invention include multiple optical fibers for delivery of laser energy to a pre-determined treatment site in the therapeutic treatment of cardiac tissue. A fixation device fixes the distal end of the catheter to the treatment site. Temperature sensing devices disposed on the fixation device provide a temperature depth profile of the tissue treatment site, which can be used to control the treatment. Multi-piece, single-piece and porous tip catheters are disclosed.

    摘要: The invention relates to a steering system for a catheter tip. The system includes wire members that extend through a catheter wall that are used to pull a distal portion of the catheter tip causing controlled, predetermined bending at the tip. Anchoring members located near the catheter tip connect the distal end of the catheter with wire members. The steering system also contains control members which are located at a proximal portion of the catheter and are used to control the pull on the wire members. Steering enhancement members are also included in the steering system which facilitate the bending of the catheter wall.

    摘要: Process and apparatus for mapping of tachyarrhythmia, such as ventricular tachycardia. The apparatus is a mapping catheter which is a polymer member including a plurality of electrodes at a distal end. An upper ring is divided into at least bipolar poles for sensing endocardial potentials. A spaced lower unipolar ring senses intercardic potentials. The process provides for sensing of a QRS signal with the upper bipolar electrodes, and the unipolar ring provides for sensing of the EKG signal. The mapping catheter is of such a size that the mapping catheter can be inserted up and through a hand-held probe to steer and guide the mapping catheter. An interventional catheter will fit within the mapping catheter for ablation of arrhythmogenic sites. One embodiment is a laser delivery catheter which can include a fiber optic cable, a fixation wire, a metal sensing tip and an internal flushing lumen.

    摘要: A multi-fiber linear array laser catheter for use in irradiation of biological tissue where a circular laser beam is optically transformed to coincide with the cross-section of a linear array of optical fibers. The transformed laser beams are focused onto a linear connector and transmitted through a plurality of parallel optical fibers. Heat is extracted and drawn from the vicinity of the parallel optic fibers by metallic plates acting as heat sinks on opposing sides of the parallel optic fibers.

    摘要: An irrigated tip catheter comprises a catheter body, a tip section, and a porous tip electrode. The catheter body has an outer wall, proximal and distal ends, and a lumen extending therethrough. The tip section comprises a segment of flexible tubing having proximal and distal ends and at least one lumen therethrough. The proximal end of the tip section is fixedly attached to the distal end of the catheter body. The porous tip electrode is fixedly attached to the distal end of the tubing of the tip section. The tip electrode has an outer surface and comprises a body and an insert. The body comprises a porous material through which fluid can pass and has a cavity therein. The insert, which comprises a non-porous material, is contained within the cavity of the shell. The insert has at least one passage extending therethrough in fluid communication with a lumen in the tip section. An infusion tube having proximal and distal ends extends through the central lumen in the catheter body. The distal end of the infusion tube is in fluid communication with the proximal end of the passage in the tip electrode, whereby fluid can flow through the infusion tube, into the passage in the tip electrode and through the porous material of tip electrode to the outer surface of the tip electrode.
