Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure provides ablation catheter systems and electrode assemblies, including electrode baskets, for use in the ablation catheter systems for ablating tissue. The electrode baskets include a plurality of struts having a plurality of electrodes asymmetrically arranged on the plurality of struts such that upon simultaneous energizing of the plurality of electrodes during any single application of the ablation procedure, lesions are created on only one half of less of the circumference of the vessel.
