    • Structures having asymmetric mechanical properties provide enhanced ability to support therapeutic or diagnostic elements in contact with tissue in an interior body region. The support structure includes a first region, which exhibits a first mechanical property affecting tissue contact, and a second region spaced from the first region about the axis, which exhibits a second mechanical property, different than the first mechanical property, affecting tissue contact. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second mechanical properties correlate with stiffness of the respective first and second regions, with the first region being more flexible (i.e., less stiff) than the second region. The first region, due to its greater flexibility, is more conformal to tissue than the second region. The less flexible (i.e., more stiff) second region imparts greater force against the tissue to urge the more flexible first region toward intimate tissue contact. In a preferred embodiment, the more flexible first region carries at least one therapeutic or diagnostic element.
    • 具有不对称机械特性的结构提供增强的能力,以支持与内部身体区域中的组织接触的治疗或诊断元件。 支撑结构包括表现出影响组织接触的第一机械特性的第一区域以及围绕轴线与第一区域隔开的第二区域,该第二区域具有影响组织接触的第二机械特性,该第二机械特性不同于第一机械特性。 在优选实施例中,第一和第二机械特性与相应的第一和第二区域的刚度相关,其中第一区域比第二区域更加柔性(即,较不硬)。 第一个区域由于其更大的灵活性,比第二个区域更适合组织。 较不柔性(即更硬)的第二区域赋予组织更大的力以促使更柔性的第一区域朝向紧密的组织接触。 在优选实施方案中,更灵活的第一区域携带至少一种治疗或诊断元件。

    • A catheter assembly comprising a elongated, flexible support structure having an axis. The assembly also includes an elongated porous electrode assembly carried by the support structure along the axis for contact with tissue. The elongated porous electrode assembly comprises a wall having an exterior peripherally surrounding an interior area, a lumen to convey a medium containing ions into the interior area, and an element coupling the medium within the interior area to a source of electrical energy. At least a portion of the wall comprising a porous material is sized to allow passage of ions contained in the medium to thereby enable ionic transport of electrical energy through the porous material to the exterior of the wall to form a continuous elongated lesion pattern in tissue contacted by the wall. The support structure can have a curvilinear geometry, e.g., a loop shape, and the elongated porous electrode assembly conforms to the curvilinear geometry. The assembly also includes comprises a sheath carried by the support structure having a slot extending along the axis of the support structure, wherein the electrode assembly is adapted to bend outwardly through the slot.
    • 导管组件,其包括具有轴的细长的柔性支撑结构。 组件还包括由支撑结构承载的细长多孔电极组件,沿着轴线与组织接触。 细长的多孔电极组件包括具有周围围绕内部区域的外部的外壁,用于将含有离子的介质输送到内部区域的内腔,以及将内部区域内的介质耦合到电能源的元件。 包含多孔材料的壁的至少一部分的尺寸设定成允许包含在介质中的离子通过,从而使得电能通过多孔材料离子传递到壁的外部,以在组织接触中形成连续的细长损伤图案 在墙上。 支撑结构可以具有曲线几何形状,例如环形,并且细长多孔电极组件符合曲线几何形状。 组件还包括由支撑结构承载的护套,其具有沿着支撑结构的轴线延伸的槽,其中电极组件适于向外弯曲穿过槽。
