ABSTRACT:
Laser catheters according to the invention include multiple optical fibers for delivery of laser energy to a pre-determined treatment site in the therapeutic treatment of cardiac tissue. A fixation device fixes the distal end of the catheter to the treatment site. Temperature sensing devices disposed on the fixation device provide a temperature depth profile of the tissue treatment site, which can be used to control the treatment. Multi-piece, single-piece and porous tip catheters are disclosed.
