Abstract
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for the ablation of tissue. Embodiments include an ablation catheter that has an array of ablation elements attached to a deployable carrier assembly. The carrier assembly can be constrained within the lumen of a catheter, and deployed to take on an expanded condition. The carrier assembly includes multiple electrodes that are configured to ablate tissue at low power. Systems include an interface unit with a visual display that provides a visual representation of the geometry of the ablation elements and/or provides selection means for selecting an icon provided on the display.

20. A method for selecting electrodes for energy delivery, the method comprising:
-
displaying a visual display of an interface unit configured to accept a manual selection of one or more carrier arms of an ablation catheter for energy delivery; automatically selecting one or more electrodes in communication with the selected one or more carrier arms; displaying on the visual display an option for the manual confirmation of the automatically selected one or more carrier arms; and automatically determining ablation parameters and automatically activating the one or more electrodes when the automatic selection of one or more electrodes is manually confirmed.
