ABSTRACT:
An ablation catheter particularly adapted for use in ablation of cardiac tissue. The catheter is provided with an elongated electrode, intended to make contact with tissue to be ablated, in the heart, along its length. The electrode is mounted to a segment of the catheter which is porous, and the catheter is provided with an internal lumen for delivery of a conductive fluid such as Ringer's solution, to the porous portion of the catheter body, so that the conductive solution may be delivered along the entire length of the electrode.
