System and method for assessing transmurality of ablation lesions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of ablating organic tissue comprising the steps of:
- providing a temperature-sensing pad operatively adapted to sense a temperature of the tissue and an output device in communication with the pad, the output device operatively adapted to display a representation of a lesion found on a back side of the tissue;
positioning the pad against a back side of the tissue;
ablating the tissue with an ablation apparatus against a front side of the tissue;
sensing the temperature changes of the ablated tissue with the pad; and
ablating the tissue in accordance with the temperature changes.
