SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR DELIVERY OF PULSED ELECTRIC FIELD ABLATIVE ENERGY TO ESOPHAGEAL TISSUE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050741 titled 'SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR DELIVERY OF PULSED ELECTRIC FIELD ABLATIVE ENERGY TO ESOPHAGEAL TISSUE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for systems, devices, and methods related to electroporation ablation therapy in the context of esophageal ablation. The application discloses an ablation device that includes a catheter with a longitudinal axis and a lumen. A balloon is coupled to the catheter and can transition between a deflated and inflated configuration. A second catheter extends from the distal end of the first catheter's lumen. A set of splines with electrodes is formed on the surface of each spline and can couple to the distal end of the first catheter's lumen and the distal portion of the second catheter. The second catheter can be translated along the longitudinal axis to transition the set of splines between different configurations.

  • The patent application describes a device for electroporation ablation therapy in the esophagus.
  • The device includes a catheter with a lumen and a balloon that can be inflated or deflated.
  • A second catheter extends from the distal end of the first catheter's lumen.
  • The second catheter has a set of splines with electrodes that can be moved between different configurations.
  • The device allows for precise and controlled ablation therapy in the esophagus.

Potential Applications:

  • Treatment of esophageal cancer or other diseases requiring ablation therapy in the esophagus.
  • Minimally invasive treatment option for patients with esophageal conditions.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a more targeted and controlled approach to ablation therapy in the esophagus.
  • Minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue during the procedure.
  • Allows for precise positioning and movement of the electrodes for effective treatment.

Benefits:

  • Minimally invasive procedure, reducing patient discomfort and recovery time.
  • Improved precision and control during ablation therapy.
  • Potential for better treatment outcomes and reduced risk of complications.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems, devices, and methods for electroporation ablation therapy are disclosed in the context of esophageal ablation. an ablation device may include a first catheter defining a longitudinal axis and a lumen therethrough. a balloon may be coupled to the first catheter. the balloon may be configured to transition between a deflated configuration and an inflated configuration. a second catheter may extend from a distal end of the first catheter lumen. a set of splines including electrodes formed on a surface of each of the splines may couple to the distal end of the first catheter lumen and a distal portion of the second catheter. the second catheter may be configured for translation along the longitudinal axis to transition the set of splines between a first configuration and a second configuration.
