METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUSES FOR TISSUE ABLATION USING A MODULATED EXPONENTIAL DECAY PULSE

Abstract: example methods and apparatuses are disclosed for providing tissue ablation through electrolysis, electroporation, or a combination thereof. a pulse that has an element of decay may be applied to a target for tissue ablation while the decay is modulated. in some examples, apparatus including a controller and switches may be used to modulate the decay and/or selectively apply the pulse to the target. the apparatus may further include resistors and/or other elements to modulate a magnitude of the pulse and/or a slope of a decay of the pulse.
