Original Abstract Submitted
An electroporation catheter for facilitating ablation of cardiac tissue is disclosed. The electroporation catheter includes an elongated shaft having a distal region. An inflatable member and electrode assembly are coupled to the distal region. The inflatable member is transitionable between an inflated configuration and an uninflated configuration. The electrode assembly includes electrodes and flexible support members. The electrodes include sensing electrodes disposed on the flexible support members and ablation electrodes configured to generate an electric field. The flexible support members are transitionable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The flexible support members form a cavity, and the inflatable member is disposed within the cavity.
