Microscopic characterization and ablation of substrate to treat cardiac arrhythmias

Invention SummaryThis product utilizes a disposable probe with a catheter in order to treat atrial fibrillation. The probe is capable of creating an image that can be used to steer the catheter during atrial fibrillation treatment. U-5896 has the potential to improve outcomes for ablation therapy, which is currently not the preferred method of treating...

Dye Carrier for Clinical Intraoperative Microscopy

Invention Summary A low cost confocal imaging dye carrier for viewing of cardiac microstructures has been developed. A dye carrier is attached to the tip of the imaging catheter, which is navigated to the atrial and ventricular cavities in the same manner as currently done in clinical diagnosis and therapy. The biologically inert dye provides...
