    摘要: Systems and methods for heating or ablating body tissue place in contact with tissue an electrode, which includes an exterior wall peripherally surrounding an interior area. A lumen conveys a medium containing ions into the interior area. At least a portion of the exterior wall of the electrode comprises a porous material sized to pass ions contained in the medium. The systems and methods transmit electrical ablation energy to the medium for ionic transport through the porous material to tissue. The systems and methods sense temperature proximal to where the electrode contacts tissue. The systems and methods control transmission of electrical ablation energy to the medium based, at least in part, upon the temperature sensed.

    摘要: Tissue heating and ablation systems and methods use a porous electrode assembly with an electrically conductive surface. The electrode assembly includes an exterior peripherally surrounding an interior area. At least a portion of the wall comprises an electrically conductive material. A lumen conveys a medium containing ions into the interior area. According to the invention, at least a portion of the wall also comprising a porous material sized to pass ions contained in the medium. In a preferred embodiment, the electrode assembly further includes an element coupling the electrically conductive material to a source of electrical energy to transmit electrical energy. In this preferred embodiment, the electrically conductive material is also porous to pass ions contained in the medium. The assembly also preferably includes a conductive element coupling the medium within the interior area to a source of electrical energy to enable ionic transport of electrical energy by the medium through the porous material.

    摘要: Systems and methods for heating or ablating tissue use a porous electrode. The porous electrode comprises a wall having an interior area that contains an electrically conductive element. At least a portion of the wall comprises a porous material sized to block passage of blood cells while passing ions. The systems and methods position the porous electrode in contact with tissue. The systems and methods couple the electrically conductive element to a source of electrical energy. The systems and methods convey a fluid medium containing ions into the interior area to enable ionic transfer of electrical energy from the electrical conducting element through the fluid medium and porous material to ablate tissue. The systems and methods also specify differing electrical resistivities for the porous material based, at least in part, upon achieving differing desired tissue heating or ablation effects.

    摘要: Electrode structures are formed from flexible, porous, or woven materials. One such structure is made by forming first and second body sections, each including a peripheral edge. The first and second body sections are joined together about their peripheral edges with a seam, thereby forming a composite structure. Another one of such structures is made by forming a body having a three dimensional shape and opposite open ends, and at least partially closing at least one of the opposite ends by forming a seam. Another one of such structures is formed from a sheet of material having peripheral edges. The sheet is placed on the distal end of a fixture, while the peripheral edges of the sheet are gathered about the proximal end of a fixture, thereby imparting to the sheet a desired shape. At least one pleat is formed to secure the gathered peripheral edges together. The seams or pleats are formed by thermal bonding, or ultrasonic welding, or laser welding, or adhesive bonding, or sewing.
