摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for forming annular lesions in tissue. The methods include introduction of an optical apparatus proximate to a tissue site, via, for example, a catheter. The optical apparatus includes a pattern-forming optical waveguide in communication with a light transmitting optical fiber. Energy is transmitted through the optical fiber, such that radiation is propagated through the optical fiber and the waveguide projects an annular light pattern, e.g., a circle or a halo.

摘要： The present invention is drawn to methods for ablating tissue within an organ, e.g., a heart, using a catheter. The catheter includes a tubular catheter having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen therebetween, a plurality of independent flexible guide members, and an energy emitter. The method includes introducing the catheter into an organ, e.g., a heart, and performing ablation of tissue, e.g. diseased tissue. The energy emitter is slidably positioned within one or more of the flexible guide members so that the energy emitter is located proximate to the tissue site. Energy is emitted through the emitter, thereby treating, e.g., phototherapeutically, e.g., ablating, the tissue with minimal or no harm to the surrounding healthy tissue. A method may be used for therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of tissue.

摘要： Ablation methods and instruments are disclosed for creating lesions in tissue, especially cardiac tissue for treatment of arrhythmias and the like. Percutaneous ablation instruments in the form of coaxial catheter bodies are disclosed having at least one central lumen therein and having one or more balloon structures at the distal end region of the instrument. The instruments include an energy emitting element which is independently positionable within the lumen of the instrument and adapted to project radiant energy through a transmissive region of a projection balloon to a target tissue site. An ablative fluid can also be employed outside of the instrument to ensure efficient transmission of the radiant energy when the instrument is deployed. In another aspect of the invention, mechanisms are disclosed for determining whether the instrument has been properly seated within the heart. This contact-sensing feature can be implemented by an illumination source situated within the instrument and an optical detector that monitors the level of reflected light. Measurements of the reflected light can thus be used to determine whether contact has been achieved and whether such contact is continuous over a desired ablation path.

摘要： Guided ablation instruments are disclosed for creating lesions in tissue, especially cardiac tissue for treatment of arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation. In one aspect of the invention, a percutaneous catheter is disclosed with an endoscope positionable in the instrument's distal end region to obtain an image. The image allows the clinician to determine whether contact has been achieved (or blood has been cleared from an ablative energy transmission path) before ablation begins or while ablation is occurring. In one embodiment, percutaneous ablation catheters are disclosed having at least one central lumen and one or more balloon structures at the distal end region of the instrument. Also disposed in the distal end region are an illuminating light source and an endoscope capable of collecting sufficient light to relay an image to the user. The instruments can further include an ablation element. The ablation element can be a contact ablation element, or a radiant energy emitter, which is preferably independently positionable within the lumen of the instrument and adapted to project ablative energy through a transmissive region of the instrument body (and/or balloon) to a target tissue site proximate to the pulmonary veins. The energy can delivered without the need for contact between the energy emitter and the target tissue so long as a clear transmission pathway is established. The endoscope element of the instrument allows the clinician to determine the position of the instrument and, if radiant energy is to be employed, see if such a pathway is clear. Moreover, because the position of the radiant energy emitter can be varied, endoscopic guidance permits the clinician to select a desired location and dose for the lesion.

摘要： Systems for visualizing cardiac tissue during an ablation procedure are provided. In general, the systems include an imaging module configured to measure absorbance data at first and second wavelengths wherein the ratio of these absorbance values identifies the nature of the tissue (e.g., lesion, de novo tissue, etc.). The imaging module can also include a video system having at least two chips with corresponding bandpass filters centered at the first and second target wavelengths. The system can also include a processor and/or video monitor for combining the images produced by the various chips, determining treated and non-treated tissue based on the ratio of absorbance values at the target wavelengths, and displaying images of the treatment area. Methods of visualizing cardiac treatment areas during ablation procedures are also provided herein.
