MEDIGUIDE-ENABLED RENAL DENERVATION SYSTEM FOR ENSURING WALL CONTACT AND MAPPING LESION LOCATIONS

摘要

An ablation catheter includes an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end. At least one ablation element is disposed on the body between the proximal end and the distal end and configured to ablate renal tissue to control hypertension. At least one localization sensor is disposed on the body and configured to interact with a magnetic field. The at least one localization sensor aids in determining an appropriate target tissue for ablation.
