Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A medical device includes an insertion shaft, having a longitudinal axis and having a distal end adapted for insertion into a body of a patient. A resilient end section is fixed to the distal end of the insertion shaft and is formed so as to define an arc oriented obliquely relative to the axis and having a center of curvature on the axis. One or more electrodes are disposed along the end section. An ultrasound transducer is fixed to the distal end and is configured to image a vicinity of the arc using ultrasound waves.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A medical device, comprising: an insertion shaft, having a longitudinal axis and having a distal end terminating in a distal tip adapted for insertion into a body of a patient; a resilient end section fixed to and extending from the distal tip of the insertion shaft, the resilient end section defining an arc residing in a plane, the plane oriented obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis, the arc having a center of curvature coincident with the lon…
