    • A medical device assembly and method provides an ultrasound transducer mounted onto a delivery member, such the elongate body of a catheter shaft, without a support structure bridging between a separation area between the transducer and the shaft. Mounting flanges are extend from either end of the transducer and are mounted at first and second locations along the catheter shaft such that the transducer is suspended over the catheter shaft between those mounting locations. The flanges may be connected by an intermediate member, with the transducer supported on either an outer surface or an inner surface of the intermediate member. The intermediate member may also provide a housing with an enclosed space that houses the transducer, wherein the flanges extend from the housing for mounting to the catheter shaft. In an overall tissue coupling system, a cylindrical ultrasound transducer are mounted onto a catheter shaft by use of such mounting flanges extending from the transducer's ends and such that the ultrasound transducer is enclosed within a balloon also provided on the catheter. The balloon is ideally adapted to engage a circumferential region of tissue where a pulmonary vein extends from an atrium such that the cylindrical ultrasound transducer is able to couple through the balloon inflation fluid and to the circumferential region of tissue surrounding the balloon for ablation. The transducer is substantially “airbacked” when mounted onto a delivery member according to the present assembly and method.
    • 医疗装置组件和方法提供了安装在输送构件(例如导管轴的细长主体)上的超声换能器,而不需要在换能器和轴之间的分离区域之间桥接的支撑结构。 安装法兰从换能器的任一端延伸并沿着导管轴安装在第一和第二位置处,使得换能器悬挂在导管轴之间的这些安装位置之间。 凸缘可以由中间构件连接,换能器支撑在中间构件的外表面或内表面上。 中间构件还可以提供具有容纳换能器的封闭空间的壳体,其中凸缘从壳体延伸以用于安装到导管轴。 在整体组织连接系统中,通过使用从换能器端部延伸的这种安装凸缘将圆柱形超声换能器安装到导管轴上,并且使得超声换能器被包围在也设置在导管上的球囊内。 气球理想地适于接合肺静脉从心房延伸的组织的圆周区域,使得圆柱形超声换能器能够耦合穿过球囊充气流体并且耦合到围绕球囊的组织的周边区域以进行消融。 当根据本组件和方法将传感器安装到传送部件上时,传感器基本上被“空背”。
