摘要：
Methods and apparatus for treating a patient include an ablationdevice for treating atrial fibrillation. The device includes a housing havingproximal and distal ends, and an energy source adjacent the distal end ofthe housing. The energy source has an active portion and an inactive portion.The active portion is adapted to deliver energy to tissue when the energysource is energized. This creates a partial or complete zone of ablation inthe tissue that blocks abnormal electrical activity, thereby reducing oreliminating atrial fibrillation in the patient. The inactive portion does notemitenergy or emits substantially no energy when the energy source is energized.
