Abstract

"MONTAGEM DE DISPOSITIVO E MéTODO DE ABLAçãOCIRCUNFERENCIAL". Trata-se de uma montagem de dispositivode ablação circunferencial que inclui um elemento de ablaçãocircunferencial com um elemento de ablação que é adaptado pararealizar a ablação de uma região circunferencial de tecido naregião de um óstio de veia pulmonar. O elemento de ablação seacopla a uma parte média do elemento de ablação circunferenciale que é limitada em um lado ou outro por duas partes deextremidade. As partes de extremidade são adaptadas paraprotegerem e deste modo isolarem a energia ablativa do elementode ablação até a região circunferencial de tecido adjacente àregião média. O elemento de ablação é acoplado a um elementoexpansivel com um comprimento de trabalho que é ajustável atéuma posição radialmente expandida que engata a regiãocircunferencial de tecido e pode ser acoplado apenas a umaestreita faixa circunferencial que circunscreve a superfície externado comprimento de trabalho para formar a região média adaptadapara realizar a ablação do tecido. O elemento de ablação pode seacoplar a todo o comprimento de trabalho do elemento expansívele os isolantes podem ser proporcionados em ambas as partes deextremidade para deixar a faixa circunferencial como a única regiãomédia ablativa. O elemento expansivel se conforma ao óstio daveia pulmonar, tal como proporcionando-se uma grandequantidade de complacência radial ou proporcionando-se umafunilamento ao longo do comprimento de trabalho com umdiâmetro externo que reduz distalmente. O elemento de ablaçãopode ser qualquer sorvedouro de energia adaptado para seacoplar a e realizar a ablação da região circunferencial, embora emum modo um transdutor de ultra-som seja acoplado de maneiraultrasónica à faixa circunferencial para aquecer a faixa ou passaratravés da faixa de modo a realizar a ablação da regiãocircunferencial de tecido. Um elemento de ablação linear éproporcionado adjacente ao elemento de ablação em umamontagem de combinação que é adaptada para uso em umprocedimento do tipo "Mazel" menos invasivo na região do óstioda veia pulmonar no átrio esquerdo.
