    Abstract: A trans-septal guide catheter for providing access through the septum separating a first heart chamber from a second heart chamber that includes an elongated guide catheter body extending between guide catheter proximal and distal ends. A distal segment of the guide catheter is adapted to be inserted through the septum to locate the distal segment of the guide catheter within one of the first heart chamber and the second heart chamber. The catheter body encloses a guide catheter lumen adapted to provide access into the one of the first heart chamber and the second heart chamber through a guide catheter lumen proximal end opening and a guide catheter lumen distal end opening. A retention mechanism engages the septum and maintains the distal segment of the guide catheter extending into the one of the first heart chamber and the second heart chamber.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide an ablation apparatus for ablating target tissue adjacent pulmonary veins of a patient. The ablation apparatus can include a tube capable of being advanced around the pulmonary veins to form a loop. The tube can receive or include electrodes to ablate target tissue. Some embodiments provide a loop ablation device, which may include a cannula and two or more electrode rods carrying two or more bipolar electrodes. The electrode rods can be advanced through the distal ends toward the proximal ends of the loop and toward the target tissue. The bipolar electrodes can receive energy to ablate the target tissue. The bipolar electrodes may be surrounded by the liquid within the cannula while ablating the target tissue. The loop ablation device can further include a rotating grasping mechanism coupled to the electrode rods.

    Abstract: A catheter assembly and method for treatment of cardiac arrhythmia. In one preferred embodiment, the catheter assembly includes a cetheter body, at least one electrode, and a fluid source. The catheter body includes a proximal portion, an intermediate portion, a distal portion, a first lumen, and an ablation section. The intermediate portion extends from the proximal portion and defines a longitudinal axis. The distal portion extends from the intermediate portion and forms a helix or coil. The first lumen extends from the proximal portion to the distal portion. Finally, the ablation section is formed along the helix of the distal portion and defines a loop transverse to the longitudinal axis. The ablation section is, in one preferred embodiment, comprised of a microporous material in fluid communication with the first lumen so as to irrigate fluid from the first lumen to an exterior surface of the ablation section. The electrode is associated with the ablation section. Finally, the fluid source is provided to supply a conductive fluid to the first lumen. With the configuration, upon activation, the electrode supplies an ablation energy to fluid irrigated to the exterior surface of the ablation section, thereby ablating a continuous, closed lesion pattern. During use, for example, the catheter assembly can ablate a closed lesion pattern corresponding with the loop defined by the ablation section on a chamber wall about a pulmonary vein ostium to electrically isolate the pulmonary vein from the left atrium. In one preferred embodiment, the ablation section is comprised of a high density, expanded PTFE material. In another preferred embodiment, a shaping wire is slidably disposed within the catheter body to selectively dictate the desired helical shape of the distal portion.

    Abstract: Device, system and method for ablating tissue of a heart of a patient. The tissue is clamped between a pair of opposing jaws. A portion of the tissue is ablated at a first generally linear position on the tissue by applying ablative energy to two of a plurality of elongate electrodes, each of the two of the plurality of elongate electrodes being coupled in opposing relationship to each other and the pair of opposing jaws, respectively. An effectiveness of the ablation is sensed at a second generally linear position on the tissue with at least one of the plurality of elongate electrodes positioned on one of the pair of opposing jaws. The second linear position on the tissue is laterally distal to the first linear position on the tissue with respect to the atrium of the heart.
