    摘要: This invention describes an energy delivery apparatus for delivering electrical energy at a target location, said energy delivery apparatus being usable in combination with a magnetic field and comprising an electrical conductor having a substantially elongated configuration; an electrode for delivering electrical energy at the target location, with the electrode being electrically coupled to the electrical conductor and having an exposed surface with at least a portion of the exposed surface having one of its principal radii of curvature smaller than 0.35 mm; an insulating dielectric coating along a substantial portion of the length of the electrical conductor, with the dielectric coating having a dielectric constant smaller than about 3; at least one guiding element mounted to the electrical conductor, with at least one of the guiding elements including a magnetically responsive material. The magnetic field is used to move the guiding element in order to position the electrode substantially adjacent to the target location.

    摘要: This invention describes an occlusion crossing apparatus for creating an opening in occluded tissue at a target location in interventional and surgical applications with simultaneous or nearly simultaneous intravascular imaging. In particular, the present invention is concerned with a magnetically guidable occlusion crossing apparatus and methods of using same together with intravascular ultrasound imaging, said occlusion crossing apparatus being usable in combination with a magnetic field and comprising an ultrasound imaging catheter with at least one ultrasound transducer at its distal tip; the catheter including a lumen through which a magnetically steered guidewire is passed and extends beyond the distal end of the catheter; the guidewire possibly comprising an electrode at its distal end for delivery of ablative electrical energy at a target location in a body lumen; and at least one magnetic guiding element mounted to the guidewire for orienting the portion of the guidewire that extends from the distal tip of the imaging catheter and placing the tip of the guidewire at the desired target location.
