Embodiment Construction
[0021] Certain embodiments as disclosed herein provide for systems and methods for ablation of biological tissues in body areas such as the heart, liver, and the like using a bendable radio-frequency (RF) catheter. The catheter is provided with electrodes of a flexible conductive material such as a conductive polymer at its distal end for providing an output signal such as an intracardiac electrocardiogram (“ECG”) signal to a control unit to allow physicians to obtain tissue proximity and electrical conductivity information both before and after tissue ablation, as well as to provide other feedback during the ablation procedure.
[0022] After reading this description, it will become apparent to one skilled in the art how to implement the invention in various alternative embodiments and alternative applications. However, although various embodiments of the present invention will be described herein, it is understood that these embodiments are presented by way of example only and not l...
