Zusammenfassung:The present application discloses an apparatus for assessing electroporation therapy applied to a tissue region of a patient, the apparatus comprising: an electroporation device comprising: a catheter sized and shaped for vascular access and including an elongate body extending between a proximal end and a distal end, a balloon structure arranged near the distal end of the elongate body, and one or more electrodes arranged on or within the balloon structure and configured to deliver electroporation energy to the tissue region; and an array of sensors configured to be positioned on the patient and to sense an application of the electroporation energy by the electroporation device to determine a location of the electroporation device within the patient.
