Claim 0:
1. A method of treating tissue at an anatomical site, the method comprising:
introducing a treatment system adjacent to the anatomical site, where the treatment system includes a closed loop assembly comprising a first elongate arm, a second elongate arm, and an ablation device that is advanceable through the first elongate arm and coupled to a distal portion of the second elongate arm by a flexible member, where the ablation device and the flexible member are introduced in a linear configuration;
deploying the closed loop assembly adjacent to the anatomical site such that the ablation device or the flexible member are converted to a non-linear configuration;
stabilizing the closed loop assembly within the anatomical site by manipulating either the first elongate arm or the second elongate arm to force the closed loop assembly against tissue;
advancing the ablation device through the first elongate arm and positioning the ablation device using the flexible member such that after being stabilized the closed loop assembly stabilizes the ablation device;
treating the tissue with the ablation device at a first region; and
placing at least one electrode against the tissue to transmit and receive electrophysiological signals from the tissue where the at least one electrode is located on the flexible member.
