The present application provides a balloon, a balloon catheter, an ablation catheter, and a tubular ultrasonic focusing apparatus and method, which relate to the field of medical devices. An expanded state of the balloon comprises a first extension section, a lens section, and a second extension section. The lens section is disposed between the first extension section and the second extension section in an axial direction. The lens section comprises a converging structure made of an energy-permeable material, wherein the converging structure is configured to converge energy from the lens section to a target converging region. The balloon catheter comprises a balloon, an energy generator, a first axial fixing member, and a second axial fixing member. The energy generator is disposed in a hollow channel of the lens section, and the energy generator has a length corresponding to the lens section in an axial direction. When the balloon catheter provided in embodiments of the present application is applied to an ablation surgery, accurate focusing on a target ablation region can be achieved based on the lens section, and damage to surrounding tissues can be minimized while precisely targeting nerves in the target ablation region, thereby improving the effect of the ablation surgery. In addition, by means of a focusing / weak focusing region formed by an acoustic beam adjustment structure, the ablation depth and precision can be adjusted, and synchronous temperature rise in the target region is achieved. The balloon catheter has the advantages of uniform and consistent ablation effect and obvious distal boundary, and can achieve the precise ablation of renal artery branches and trunks, which ensures the thoroughness of ablation, reduces damage to surrounding normal tissues to the greatest extent, meets the clinical requirements of "ablation to completion", and improves the effectiveness and safety of treatment.

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for assisting a mucous membrane ablation process using machine learning. The system includes a camera device, a catheter, a memory, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. A camera device generates a video of a mucous membrane of an organ, and a catheter is positioned in the organ. The processor generates a map of the organ using the video from the camera device and identifies a first portion of the mucous membrane to be ablated using a neural network and the video from the camera device. The processor also uses the movement of the catheter and the map to determine that the catheter is positioned proximate the first portion of the mucous membrane, and in response to determining that the catheter is positioned proximate the first portion of the mucous membrane, ablates the first portion of the mucous membrane using the catheter.

The invention provides a catheter with at least one electrode pair on the head of the catheter to collect data regarding the electrical activity of the heart and analyze the data using a high-performance mapping algorithm to map the interior portions of the heart to guide catheter ablation.

A system and method are provided for a navigational feedback to a catheter during an arrhythmia ablation procedure. A set of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of a patient's arrhythmia is recorded that correspond to an unknown target location to be ablated by the catheter. During the ablation procedure, pacing locations and ECG signals corresponding to the pacing locations are collected to derive a mathematical operator that maps a 12-dimensional displacement vector in the ECG space to a 3-dimensional (3D) vector in a physical space. This 3D vector corresponds to a direction and a distance that the catheter needs to be moved in order to reach the target location of the arrhythmia.

This invention discloses a varicose vein ablation catheter, including a catheter body, a radiation component, a temperature measuring component, a connecting component, and a control unit. The radiation component is disposed on the catheter body and connected to a semi-rigid coaxial cable inside the catheter body.
