  • Method of surgical perforation via the delivery of energy
    Patent number: 9597146
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for the perforation of heart tissue of a patient when an inferior approach to the heart is contraindicated are disclosed. The method includes using a superior approach to introduce the apparatus, positioning the apparatus at a tissue location and delivering a controlled amount of non-mechanical energy to the tissue to create a perforation. For example, a method of surgical perforation via the delivery of electrical, radiant or thermal energy may include: introducing an apparatus comprising an energy delivery device into a patient's heart via the patient's superior vena cava; positioning the energy delivery device at a first location adjacent material to be perforated; and perforating the material by delivering energy via the energy delivery device; wherein the energy is selected from the group consisting of electrical energy, radiant energy and thermal energy.
