Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods for electroporation ablation therapy are disclosed, with the system including a pulse waveform signal generator for medical ablation therapy, and an endocardial ablation device includes at least one electrode for ablation pulse delivery to tissue. The signal generator may deliver voltage pulses to the ablation device in the form of a pulse waveform. The system may include a cardiac stimulator for generation of pacing signals and for sequenced delivery of pulse waveforms in synchrony with the pacing signal.

Claim (Index 133):
A system, comprising:\n a signal generator configured for generating an ablation pulse waveform; a pacing device coupled to the signal generator and configured for generating a pacing signal for cardiac stimulation during use, and for transmitting an indication of the pacing signal to the signal generator; the signal generator further configured for generating the pulse waveform in synchronization with the indication of the pacing signal; and an ablation device coupled to the signal generator and configured for receiving the pulse waveform, the ablation device including:\n a catheter shaft defining a longitudinal axis and a shaft lumen therethrough; \n a set of splines extending from a distal end of the shaft lumen, each spline of the set of splines including a set of electrodes formed on a surface of that spline; and \n a distal cap coupled to a distal portion of each spline of the set of splines, the distal portion of each spline of the set of splines configured for translation along the longitudinal axis to correspondingly transition the set of splines between a first configuration in which the set of splines is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the catheter shaft and a second configuration in which at least a portion of each spline of the set of splines has a radius of curvature between about 7 mm and about 25 mm.
