Abstract
An ablation device includes a cannula having a lumen, a first array of electrodes deployable from within the lumen, and a second array of electrodes deployable from within the lumen, wherein the first array of electrodes has a configuration that is different from a configuration of the second array of electrodes.
Claims41
An ablation device, comprising:
- a cannula having a lumen;
- a first array of electrodes deployable from within the lumen;
- and
- a second array of electrodes deployable from within the lumen;
- wherein the first array of electrodes has a configuration that is different from a configuration of the second array of electrodes.

An ablation device, comprising:
- a cannula having a lumen;
- a first array of electrodes deployable from within the lumen, each of the electrodes in the first array having a deployed profile that resembles a parabola;
- and
- a second array of electrodes deployable from within the lumen, each of the electrodes in the second array having a flared deployed profile.

- a second array of electrodes deployable from within the lumen, the second array having a substantially flat deployed profile.
1 more element
An ablation device, comprising:
- a first shaft having a distal end;
- a first array of electrodes secured to the distal end of the first shaft;
- a second shaft having a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending between the distal and the proximal ends, wherein at least a portion of the first shaft is located within the lumen of the second shaft;
- and
- a second array of electrodes secured to the distal end of the second shaft;
- wherein the first array of electrodes has a configuration that is different from a configuration of the second array of electrodes.
3 more elements
A method of creating a lesion, comprising:
- deploying a first array of electrodes in a mammal;
- deploying a second array of electrodes in the mammal, the second array of electrodes has a configuration that is different from a configuration of the first array of electrodes;
- and
- using the deployed first and second arrays of electrodes to create a lesion in the mammal.
