Rf Ablation Apparatus And Method Having Electrode/Tissue Contact Assessment Scheme And Electrocardiogram Filtering

View page
US Patent:
6391024, May 21, 2002
Filed:
Jun 17, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/335200
Inventors:
Weimin Sun - Plymouth MN
Thomas M. Castellano - Temecula CA
Russ E. Anderson - Marine on St. Croix MN
Wade A. Bowe - Temecula CA
John A. Simpson - Carlsbad CA
Marshall L. Sherman - Cardiff CA
Kathryn E. Lockwood - San Diego CA
Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 1804
US Classification:
606 34, 606 39, 606 40, 606 41, 606 42, 606 46, 606 49, 607113, 607115
Abstract:
A method of assessing the adequacy of contact between an ablation electrode and biological tissue within a biological organ having biological fluid therein includes the steps of positioning the ablation electrode proximal the biological tissue; positioning a reference electrode a distance from the ablation electrode; measuring the impedance between the ablation electrode and the reference electrode at a first frequency and measuring the impedance between the ablation electrode and the reference electrode at a second frequency. The percentage difference between the first-frequency impedance and the second-frequency impedance provides an indication of the state of electrode/tissue contact. In general, a percentage difference of at least approximately 10% serves as an indication of substantially complete electrode/tissue contact. A percentage difference in the approximate range between 5% and 10% serves as an indication of partial electrode/tissue contact. A percentage difference less than approximately 5% serves as an indication of no electrode/tissue contact.

Ablation Catheter With Covered Electrodes Allowing Electrical Conduction Therethrough

View page
US Patent:
6582429, Jun 24, 2003
Filed:
Jul 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/902038
Inventors:
Mohan Krishnan - Shoreview MN
Wade A. Bowe - Temecula CA
David S. Wood - Temecula CA
Jeffrey A. Hall - Birmingham AL
Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 1818
US Classification:
606 41, 600372
Abstract:
A surface covering including a primary layer of a porous polymer structure and a secondary surface covering one or both of a metallic element layer and a hydrophilic layer is positioned over the surface of an ablation electrode. The pores of the surface covering are sized such that blood platelets are prevented from contacting the surface of the electrode while physiological fluid is allowed to pass through and contact the electrode surface to hereby provide a conduction path for current from the electrodes. The surface covering may further include an electrically non-conductive and thermally conductive portion positioned over another portion of the electrode to prevent alternate or non-intended site ablations.

Steerable Catheter With Shaft Support System For Resisting Axial Compressive Loads

View page
US Patent:
6585718, Jul 1, 2003
Filed:
May 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/848087
Inventors:
Robert C. Hayzelden - Canyon Lake CA
John A. Simpson - Carlsbad CA
Wade A. Bowe - Temecula CA
Andrea M. Moore - Murrieta CA
Jesse Flores - Perris CA
Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 100
US Classification:
604523, 604524, 604528, 604 9504, 138118
Abstract:
A catheter includes a steering mechanism for manipulating the distal end of the catheter to obtain a plurality of deflection profiles, a torque transfer system to enhance torque transfer from the handle to the distal tip, and a support system to reduce undesirable deformation of the distal-end region during steering. The torque transfer system includes a flat ribbon within the relatively flexible distal-end region to enhance torque transfer through the distal-end region of the catheter. The support system includes a compression cage and longitudinal struts that are located within the distal-end region of the catheter. The support system can support axial loads and deflect laterally in the direction of the steering, thereby reducing the amount of stretching and compression of the catheter sheath within the deflecting region.

Preformed Steerable Catheter With Movable Outer Sleeve And Method For Use

View page
US Patent:
6592581, Jul 15, 2003
Filed:
Dec 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/746721
Inventors:
Wade A. Bowe - Temecula CA
Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 1818
US Classification:
606 41, 604530, 600585, 607122
Abstract:
A wire housed within a sheath is formed of a shape-retentive and resilient material having a curved shape at its distal-end region resulting in the catheter sheath having the curved shape. The catheter sheath also has an axially oriented tendon for causing deflection of the distal-end region. A movable outer sleeve surrounds the sheath and conforms the portion of the wire positioned within the outer sleeve to the shape of the outer sleeve. Upon relative displacement of the sheath and the outer sleeve a portion of the sheath extends beyond the outer sleeve and resumes its preformed curved distal shape thereby forcing the catheter distal-end region into the same curved shape. The operator may adjust the relative positions of the sheath and outer sleeve to changes the shape of the distal-end region. The operator may also axially move the tendon to adjust the radius or curvature of the distal-end region.

Steerable Catheter With Torque Transfer System

View page
US Patent:
6605086, Aug 12, 2003
Filed:
May 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/848114
Inventors:
Robert C. Hayzelden - Canyon Lake CA
John A. Simpson - Carlsbad CA
Wade A. Bowe - Temecula CA
Andrea M. Moore - Murrieta CA
Jesse Flores - Perris CA
Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 1818
US Classification:
606 41, 604 9504, 604 9505
Abstract:
A catheter includes a steering mechanism for manipulating the distal end of the catheter to obtain a plurality of deflection profiles, and a torque transfer system at the distal portion to enhance torque transfer from the handle to the distal tip. The steering mechanism includes two steering tendons. The steering tendons are attached to the distal-end region of the catheter. The steering tendons may be located approximately angularly aligned, thus causing the deflection profiles to be unidirectional. Alternatively, the steering tendons may be located angularly separated from each other, thus causing the deflection profiles to be bidirectional. In other aspects, the torque transfer system includes a flat ribbon within the relatively flexible distal-end region to enhance torque transfer through the distal-end region of the catheter.

Rf Ablation Catheter Tip Electrode With Multiple Thermal Sensors

View page
US Patent:
6616657, Sep 9, 2003
Filed:
Sep 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/948334
Inventors:
John A. Simpson - Carlsbad CA
Wade A. Bowe - Temecula CA
Thomas M. Castellano - Temecula CA
Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 1818
US Classification:
606 41, 607102
Abstract:
A tip electrode for an ablation catheter mounted at the distal tip of an elongated catheter body member has a distal-end region and a proximal-end region. A tip thermal sensor is located at or near the apex of the distal-end region and one or more side thermal sensors are located near the surface of the proximal-end region. The electrode is preferably an assembly formed from a hollow dome-shaped shell with a core disposed within the shell. The side thermal sensor wires are electrically connected inside the shell and the core has a longitudinal channel for the side thermal sensor wires welded to the shell. The shell also preferably has a pocket in the apex of the shell, and the end thermal sensor wires pass through the core to the apex of the shell. Spaces between the shell and the core can be filled with epoxy resin. Alternatively, the electrode is formed of a solid metal having a plurality of bores for positioning thermal sensors at the tip and near the surface of the electrode.

Self-Locking Handle For Steering A Single Or Multiple-Profile Catheter

View page
US Patent:
6652506, Nov 25, 2003
Filed:
May 4, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/849189
Inventors:
Wade A. Bowe - Temecula CA
Jesse Flores - Perris CA
Andrea M. Moore - Murrieta CA
Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61M 2500
US Classification:
604523, 600585, 604528
Abstract:
A catheter handle includes a steering controller with a self-locking mechanism to be used in conjunction with a steerable catheter shaft. A compression spring portion of the self-locking mechanism is located between the steering controller and a handle shell and causes alternating protrusions and recesses on the steering controller and on the handle shell to engage, thus locking the steering controller into a fixed position with the handle shell. Through a single-handed operation, an operator enables steering controller rotation by applying a force to the steering controller, which disengages the steering controller from the handle shell. The operator then adjusts the profile of a distal-end region of the catheter by rotating the steering controller. When the desired profile of the distal-end region of the catheter has been obtained, the operator removes the force from the steering controller and the spring decompresses to reengage the steering controller with the handle shell.
