Zusammenfassung:Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to, for example, a high-thermal-sensitivity ablation catheter tip including a thermally-insulative ablation tip insert supporting at least one temperature sensor electrically coupled to a flexible electronic circuit and encapsulated, or essentially encapsulated, by a conductive shell. Also disclosed is a method of controlling the temperature of an ablation catheter tip while creating a desired lesion using various forms of energy and energy delivery.
