<p>An ablation catheter (10) is disclosed having proximal (14) and distal (16) ends and an outside surface (21), a lumen (18) contained within the catheter body (12), a plurality of openings (20) in the surface (21) of the catheter (10), wherein the openings (20) are in communication with the lumen (18), one or more electrodes (22) secured within the catheter (10) within the lumen (18) and a source for conductive media to be introduced into the lumen to contact the electrode. The ablation catheter (10) also may contain a conductive media flow control system which controls the flow of the conductive media through the openings (20) in the surface (21) of the catheter (10). <IMAGE></p> |
