Abstract:
According to some embodiments, a medical instrument (for example, an ablation device) comprises an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end, an energy delivery member positioned at the distal end of the elongate body, a first plurality of temperature-measurement devices carried by or positioned within the energy delivery member, the first plurality of temperature-measurement devices being thermally insulated from the energy delivery member, and a second plurality of temperature-measurement devices positioned proximal to a proximal end of the energy delivery member, the second plurality of temperature-measurement devices being thermally insulated from the energy delivery member.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of heat removal from an ablation member during a tissue treatment procedure, comprising:\n delivering energy to an ablation member of an ablation system, the ablation member positioned along a distal end of an elongate body; wherein at least one thermal shunt member extends at least partially through an interior of the ablation member; and wherein at least one fluid passage extends at least partially through an interior of the at least one thermal shunt member; delivering a fluid through the at least one fluid passage; and transferring heat from the electrode assembly to the fluid via the at least one thermal shunt member.
