  • Patent number: 12268435
    Abstract: An ablation catheter comprises: an elongated catheter body extending longitudinally between a proximal end and a distal end along a longitudinal axis; a distal member disposed adjacent the distal end, the distal member including an ablation element to ablate a biological member; one or more acoustic transducers disposed in the distal member and each configured to direct an acoustic signal toward a respective target ablation region and receive reflection echoes therefrom; and an acoustic redirection member disposed in the distal member to at least partially redirect the acoustic signal from at least one of the acoustic transducers toward a tissue target. The distal member includes a most-distal portion, a proximal portion, and a deflectable portion between the most-distal portion and proximal portion to permit deflection between the most-distal portion and proximal portion of the distal member. The transducers and redirection member are mounted on opposite sides of the deflectable portion.

  • Patent number: 12271446
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems, methods, and computer readable media for executing actions for events associated with use of applications. A computing system can identify free text associated with an application to be evaluated for at least one of a plurality of events associated with a use of the application. The computing system can apply the free text to a machine learning (ML) architecture. The computing system can determine, based on applying the free text to the ML architecture, a value indicating a likelihood of occurrence of an event associated with the use of the application. The computing system can provide to a generative ML model, a model input based on the free text and the value, to obtain data for an electronic document characterizing the event. The computing system can execute an action using the data for the electronic document.

  • Patent number: 12220157
    Abstract: Devices and methods for creating radial-linear lesions in pulmonary vein antral tissue are disclosed. In an embodiment, a device includes an elongate shaft structure with a distal tip ablation region including a spline and an ablation element slidably coupled to the spline. The ablation element includes at least one of an ultrasound emitter, a high frequency ultrasound emitter, a laser, a radiofrequency electrode, a virtual radiofrequency electrode, or a cryogenic source. A backing balloon may be configured to push or pull the spline and the ablation element toward or against the pulmonary vein antral tissue. In an embodiment, the distal tip ablation region includes a splineless cryoballoon with at least one thermally conductive region.
