  • Publication number: 20220175447
    Abstract: Spectral parameters of ultrasound backscatter of myocardial tissue can be utilized to identify fibrosis and accurately assess myocardial viability during ablation procedures to treat atrial fibrillation. For example, a portion of myocardial tissue may be ultrasonically insonified, the backscatter signal of ultrasonic waves backscattered from the portion of myocardial tissue may be measured, a spectral parameter of the backscatter signal may be determined, the spectral parameter may be correlated with an electrical conductivity of the portion of myocardial tissue; and a treatment of the patient may be determined or adjusted based on the correlation.

  • Publication number: 20210030469
    Abstract: A coagulation suction device having an insulation cover and first and second bipolar wires. The insulation cover has a distal end and a distal opening formed at the distal end, and a hollow cavity configured to receive a hollow suction tube. The first and second bipolar wires are encapsulated within the insulation cover and extend along the insulation cover to the distal end. The first and second bipolar wires extend distally beyond a distal-most surface of the insulation cover, and each have an exposed distal end. The exposed distal ends are bent toward each other and terminate adjacent to and spaced apart from each other.

  • Patent number: 9775673
    Abstract: A coagulation suction device that includes a hollow suction tube, at least first and second bipolar wires, and an insulation cover. The hollow suction tube includes a closed distal tip, a proximal open end, and at least one suction opening positioned proximal of the closed distal tip. A position of the closed distal tip is adjustable relative to remaining portions of the hollow suction tube. The at least first and second bipolar wires extend along the hollow suction tube to the closed distal tip. The at least first and second bipolar wires each having an exposed distal end. The insulation cover encapsulates the at least first and second bipolar wires along a length of the first and second bipolar wires and terminates proximal of the exposed distal ends of the at least first and second bipolar wires.
