Claim 10:
11. The ablation catheter system of claim 1, wherein:
said ablation catheter includes a preconfigured distal center of curvature and a preconfigured proximal center of curvature;
said catheter steering mechanism includes a catheter distal steering mechanism configured to change a geometry of said ablation catheter about said preconfigured distal center of curvature, and a catheter proximal steering mechanism configured to change a geometry of said ablation catheter about said preconfigured proximal center of curvature;
said sheath includes a preconfigured distal center of curvature and a preconfigured proximal center of curvature; and
said sheath steering mechanism includes a sheath distal steering mechanism configured to change a geometry of said sheath about said preconfigured distal center of curvature of the sheath, and a sheath proximal steering mechanism configured to change a geometry of said sheath about said preconfigured proximal center of curvature of the sheath.
