Title:
CATHETER PERFORMING PHOTODYNAMIC ABLATION OF CARDIAC MUSCLE TISSUE BY PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/105631
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are a catheter and a method for blocking abnormal conduction in cardiac muscle or treating arrhythmia by means of photodynamic therapy, of which therapeutic effects can be evaluated and determined. Specifically disclosed is a catheter for performing photodynamic ablation of cardiac muscle tissue by photochemical reaction having a bendable end used in blood vessels or in the heart lumen, which comprises a light emitting window for emitting a light beam transmitted through an optical fiber onto a target region of cardiac muscle tissue and at least two electrodes for potential measurement disposed at the periphery of the light emitting window.
