<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ablation system for treating atrial fibrillation in a patient. <P>SOLUTION: The ablation system 10 includes proximal and distal ends, a lumen therebetween and an elongate shaft 18. An energy source 12 is coupled to a housing 16 and is adapted to deliver energy to a target tissue so as to create a zone of ablation in the target tissue that blocks abnormal electrical activity thereby reducing or eliminating the atrial fibrillation in the patient. A sensor is adjacent the energy source 12 and adapted to detect relative position of the energy source 12 to the target tissue or characteristics of the target tissue. The system 10 also has a reflecting element 22 operably coupled with the energy source 12 and adapted to redirect energy emitted from the energy source 12 in a desired direction or pattern. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
