A catheter, particularly for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia

摘要

The catheter (1) comprises one or more flexible arcuate structures (3) which are intended to be introduced into the heart chamber (V) being mapped and on which respective electrodes (8) are mounted. The electrodes (8) are mounted on the ends of hair-like structures (9) which project from the outer sides of the arcuate structures (3). Provision is made for the association of an ablation electrode (7,7) which is intended to be positioned on the ectopic foci (A) identified by the mapping operation in order to carry out the ablation operation. <IMAGE>
