    摘要: A cardiac ablation device treats atrial fibrillation by directing and focusing ultrasonic waves into a ring-like ablation region (A). The device desirably is steerable and can be moved between a normal disposition, in which the ablation region lies parallel to the wall of the heart for ablating a loop-like lesion, and a canted disposition, in which the ring-like focal region is tilted relative to the wall of the heart, to ablate only a short, substantially linear lesion. The ablation device desirably includes a balloon reflector structure (18, 1310) and an ultrasonic emitter assembly (23, 1326), and can be steered and positioned without reference to engagement between the device and the pulmonary vein or ostium. A contrast medium (C) can be injected through the ablation device to facilitate imaging, so that the device can be positioned based on observation of the images.

    摘要: A steerable catheter has a steering portion incorporating a spear cut junction of catheter material, thereby providing for a gradual change in flexibility in the steering portion. A guide tube and spring may be located inside a pull wire lumen of the catheter, with the spring distal to the guide tube so that the spring is disposed at least partially within steering section. A steering mechanism moves the pull wire linearly in order to steer the catheter.
