Pulse wave optimization to minimize neuromuscular stimulation during pulsed field ablation treatment

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for performing medical ablation procedures. In an example, a medical treatment apparatus includes an ablation waveform generator and an electronic controller. The ablation waveform generator configured to apply electrical waveforms to a treatment element placeable in proximity to a treatment site of a patient. The electronic controller is configured to control the ablation waveform generator. The electronic controller is further configured to cause the ablation waveform generator to generate a biphasic waveform having an interphase delay and an interpulse delay greater than the interphase delay. The electronic controller is configured to cause the ablation waveform generator to apply the biphasic waveform to the treatment element.
