Abstract:
1. A method of treating a patient with an ablation system having a generator, an ablation element, a sensor, and a power supply comprising a variable resistance operatively coupled between the sensor and a processor, the method comprising: selecting an energy delivery mode for treatment from at least one of monopolar ablation energy and bipolar ablation energy; selecting a desired value of an operating parameter; placing the ablation element and sensor proximate to a treatment site; delivering an electrical output from the power supply to the generator; delivering ablation energy from the generator to the ablation element; measuring a value of the operating parameter with the sensor; comparing the measured value of the operating parameter to the desired value of the operating parameter to determine a comparison value; and modulating the amplitude of the electrical output from the power supply by the processor altering the variable resistance based on the comparison value.
