Abstract:
A cardiac ablation method including the following steps: inserting a treatment catheter into an atrium of a heart, the treatment catheter including an ultrasound emitter; positioning the ultrasound emitter to face heart tissue within the left atrium outside of a pulmonary vein; emitting ultrasound energy from the ultrasound emitter while rotating the ultrasound emitter about a rotation axis; and ablating heart tissue with the ultrasound energy to form a lesion outside of a pulmonary vein.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for creating a lesion in cardiac tissue, the method comprising:\n positioning within the heart of a patient, an ultrasound transducer coupled to a distal portion of a catheter; sweeping the ultrasound transducer along an ablation path; creating a transmural lesion by ablating the cardiac tissue with an ultrasound beam from the ultrasound transducer along the ablation path; sensing an angle between the ultrasound beam and the tissue; and manipulating the angle of the ultrasound beam along the path in response to the sensed angle to create the transmural lesion
