A novel radiofrequency hot balloon catheter capable of exactly cauterizing a target site around the mitral annulus. The radiofrequency hot balloon catheter includes a catheter shaft comprising an outer cylinder shaft and an inner cylinder shaft which are mutually slidable, a balloon provided between vicinities of a distal end of the outer cylinder shaft and a distal end of the inner cylinder shaft, a liquid sending pathway formed between the outer cylinder shaft and the inner cylinder shaft to communicate with an inside of the balloon, a coil-shaped electrode provided inside the balloon and through which a radiofrequency current conducts for heating the inside of the balloon. On the catheter shaft in the vicinity of the balloon, the radiofrequency hot balloon catheter includes an intracardiac potential detection electrode 5a for detecting an intracardiac potential. |
