20140288556 | CARDIAC ABLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Cardiac ablation systems and methods of their use and manufacture involve an ablation mechanism, a stabilizer mechanism, and a cinching mechanism that urges the ablation mechanism toward a patient tissue. Embodiments encompass methods for administering epicardial and endocardial lesions, including box lesions and connecting lesions, to patient tissue. | 09-25-2014 |
20090281541 | CONDUCTION BLOCK SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Tissue treatment systems for cardiac surgical procedures can include an ablation and monitoring assembly having a first ablation element, a second ablation element, and a monitoring mechanism. Treatment methods may involve placing an ablation and monitoring assembly of the tissue treatment system at a patient tissue treatment site, applying a first ablative energy to a first tissue location via the first ablation element and a second ablative energy to a second tissue location via the second ablation element, monitoring a condition of the first tissue location with the monitoring mechanism, and modulating application of the first ablative energy to the first tissue location in response to the condition of the first tissue location while maintaining application of the second ablative energy to the second tissue location. Embodiments also include techniques for assessing a conduction delay across a lesion that involve evaluating local activation rates on various sides of a lesion. | 11-12-2009 |
20090048591 | CARDIAC ABLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Cardiac ablation systems and methods of their use and manufacture involve an ablation mechanism, a stabilizer mechanism, and a cinching mechanism that urges the ablation mechanism toward a patient tissue. Embodiments encompass methods for administering epicardial and endocardial lesions, including box lesions and connecting lesions, to patient tissue. | 02-19-2009 |
20080294154 | CARDIAC ABLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Cardiac ablation systems and methods of their use and manufacture involve an ablation mechanism, a stabilizer mechanism, and a cinching mechanism that urges the ablation mechanism toward a patient tissue. Embodiments encompass methods for administering epicardial and endocardial lesions, including box lesions and connecting lesions, to patient tissue. | 11-27-2008 |
