Multi-source tissue ablation system for the internal treatment of parenchymal organs, hollow anatomical conduits or blood vessels

Abstract

Tissue ablation system for the internal treatment of parenchymal organs, hollow anatomical conduits or blood vessels (7); said system comprising an Electromagnetic (EM) wave generator (1) and a catheter (8-14, 16-40) with an active distal end; characterized by the fact that said generator (1) includes at least two EM wave outputs (3-6) and is adapted to provide three types of EM waves through said outputs (3-6), namely Radiofrequency (RF), Microwave (MW) and Laser (LS); said generator (1) furthermore comprising a processing unit that is programmed, among other things, to emit all three EM waves at the same time and control the interaction among them.
