Abstract: Registration of catheter-sensed intrabody voltage field measurements obtained along one or more tracks of catheter advance of withdrawal is made, in some embodiments, to reference voltage field measurements lying along predetermined tracks. Tracks optionally comprise the course of a blood vessel such as the superior or inferior vena cava, a path defined and/or limited by encounters with a wall of a heart chamber and/or apertures thereof, and/or another track of catheter motion. In some embodiments, transform parameters are propagated to regions away from the track, potentially allowing more rapid acquisition of targets.

Abstract: A system and method for early detection of adverse physiological phenomenon such as anastomotic leakage through a tissue-of-interest monitoring electrode implanted in proximity to a site of interest internal to the body. The tissue-of-interest monitoring electrode is operative provide an electrical signal responsive to changes in physiological conditions at the site of interest. The electrical signals may be provided to by a communication device to a monitor which comprises circuitry that is operative to process the received signals for determining, for example, if GI leakage occurs or not. If leakage is detected, the monitor issues a warning indicating that leakage occurs.
