Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:Described herein is an apparatus for ablating tissue through irreversible electroporation, comprising a first shaft defining a longitudinal axis and a lumen, a second shaft disposed within the lumen and having a distal portion that extends from a distal end of the first shaft, a plurality of electrodes configured to generate an electric field for ablating tissue, a set of splines, each spline of the set of splines including: a set of electrodes from the plurality of electrodes formed on that spline, each set of electrodes including (1) a distal electrode such that the set of splines includes a set of distal electrodes and (2) a proximal electrode such that the set of splines includes a set of proximal electrodes. A proximal end may be coupled to the distal end of the first shaft. A distal end may be coupled to a distal end of the second shaft.
