Zusammenfassung:An ablation catheter for performing a treatment under direct visualization of a region to be treated includes a catheter body and an energy emitter that is movable relative to the catheter body. The ablation catheter includes first and second imaging devices for providing direct visualization of the region to be treated, with the first imaging device being fixed relative to the catheter body. The first and second imaging devices can be in the form of first and second imaging chip endoscopes.
