Zusammenfassung:To provide an access device that can be used to safely guide instruments, such as EP ablation catheters, to a therapy site such one within the pericardial space of the heart.SOLUTION: An access device 10 for cardiac ablation of the heart under the pericardium includes integrated visualization, illumination, stabilization, and safety features in a single platform that can, for example, more safely and efficiently identify and ablate several ventricular tachycardia (VT) locations on the left ventricle of the heart.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】器具(たとえば、EPアブレーションカテーテル)を治療部位(たとえば、心臓の心膜スペース内のもの)まで安全にガイドするために利用できるアクセス装置を提供する。【解決手段】心膜下の心臓の心臓切除を行うためのアクセス装置10は、一体化された視覚化、照明、安定化、及び安全性特徴を、たとえば、心臓の左心室上のいくつかの心室頻拍(VT)位置をより安全及び効率的に特定して切除することができる単一のプラットフォーム内に含む。【選択図】図1
