AI Technical Summary
Existing ablation technologies using radio frequency (RF) energy often cause thermal damage to surrounding tissues and nerves, leading to complications such as esophageal fistula and phrenic nerve paralysis during cardiac procedures.
An ablation system utilizing irreversible electroporation (IRE) with a surgical device featuring a clip portion and ablation electrodes, capable of monopolar and bipolar voltage applications, to perform pulsed electric field ablation (PFA) that minimizes thermal damage by using high-voltage pulses to create lesions in tissue without heat.
The IRE-based ablation system effectively forms targeted lesions while reducing damage to adjacent tissues and nerves, thereby minimizing complications like esophageal fistula and phrenic nerve paralysis.
