Apparatus and method incorporating an ultrasound transducer onto a delivery member |
| abstract |
A medical device assembly and method provides an ultrasound transducer (904) mounted onto a delivery member, such as the elongate body (802) of a catheter shaft, without a support structure bridging between a separation area between the transducer and the shaft. Mounting flanges extend from either end of the transducer and are mounted at first and second locations along the catheter shaft such that the transducer is not in mechanical contact with the catheter shaft between those mounting locations to provide for air backing between the transducer and the catheter shaft so as to isolate ultrasound transmission radially away from the catheter shaft and toward the tissue surrounding the shaft. The transducer is substantially "airbacked" when mounted onto a delivery member in accordance with the present invention. In an overall tissue coupling system, a cylindrical ultrasound transducer is mounted onto a catheter shaft and enclosed within a balloon also provided on the catheter. The balloon is ideally adapted to engage a circumferential region of tissue where a pulmonary vein extends from an atrium such that the cylindrical ultrasound transducer is able to couple through the balloon inflation fluid and to the circumferential region of tissue surrounding the balloon for ablation. |
