An ablation catheter includes a control handle, and a catheter sheath removably connectable to the control handle, the catheter sheath defining a fluid lumen and having a plurality of perforations proximal the distal end of the catheter sheath. The ablation catheter further includes a shape imparting element inserted into the fluid lumen of the catheter sheath and removably connectable to the control handle. The shape imparting element is connectable to an RF energy source so that, in use, the shape imparting elements acts as an electrode charging fluid into the fluid lumen to be expelled through the plurality of perforations on the catheter sheath. |
