HIGH RESOLUTION MAP AND ABLATE CATHETER

A medical system includes a medical probe including an elongated member having a distal end, a metallic electrode mounted to the distal end of the elongated member, and a plurality of microelectrodes embedded within, and electrically insulated from, the metallic electrode. A radio frequency (RF) ablation source is configured to deliver RF ablation energy to the metallic electrode. A filter circuit is electrically connected to the microelectrodes such that the filter circuit receives electrical signals from the microelectrodes. The filter circuit is configured to filter signal components induced by the RF ablation energy from the electrical signals. A mapping processor electrically is coupled to the filter circuit and configured to receive and process the filtered electrical signals.
