    Abstract: A microwave antenna assembly is disclosed. The antenna assembly includes an elongated member defining a longitudinal axis and having proximal and distal ends. The antenna assembly also includes an outer conductor and an inner conductor each disposed within the elongated member and extending along the longitudinal axis. A portion of the inner conductor is deployable relative to the outer conductor such that the antenna assembly may transition from a first configuration to a second configuration. The antenna assembly also includes an expandable sheath at least partially disposed about a distal portion of the inner conductor and defining at one or more lumens configured to couple to a supply of dielectric material used to regulate the expansion of the expandable sheath.

    Abstract: An antenna guide assembly including a guide body having a proximal end defining at least one proximal entry, a distal end defining at least one distal port, and at least one guide passage extending between the proximal and distal ends. The at least one guide passage is configured to receive at least a portion of an antenna therethrough via the at least one proximal entry such that a distal portion of the antenna extends through and distally from the at least one distal port for insertion into tissue. A locking assembly disposed at the distal end of the guide body is configured to receive the distal portion of the antenna therethrough. The locking assembly is configured to selectively engage the distal portion of the antenna to prevent translation of the antenna within the at least one guide passage.

    Abstract: A microwave ablation system is provided. The microwave ablation system includes a power source. A microwave antenna is adapted to connect to the power source via a coaxial cable feed including an inner conductor defining a portion of a radiating section of the microwave antenna, an outer conductor and dielectric shielding. The inner conductor loops back around and toward the outer conductor of the coaxial cable feed such that a distal end of the inner conductor is operably disposed adjacent the dielectric shielding. The inner conductor includes one or more reactive components disposed thereon forming a reactively-loaded loop configuration configured to maximize delivery of microwave energy from the power source to tissue such that a desired effect to tissue is achieved.
