Abstract: A delivery catheter having a shaft with a distal end and a proximal end for delivering an ablation probe to a body site. The delivery catheter comprises mounting members located at the distal end configured to receive an ablation probe; and attachment members configured to attach the distal end to a tissue surface. The delivery catheter preferably configured to allow an ablation probe mounted on the distal end to be manipulated so as to extend from the distal end in a direction selected from a range of directions. Even more preferably, the delivery catheter is configured to allow an ablation probe mounted on the distal end to be manipulated so as to move along a tissue surface and perform linear ablation. The invention also provides a system comprising the delivery catheter of the invention and an ablation device having an ablation probe, wherein the delivery catheter and the ablation probe are configured to allow the ablation probe to be mounted at the distal end of the delivery catheter.
