#$%^&*AU2014257730B220160811.pdf#####ABSTRACT An ablation system (10) for ablating target tissue in a treatment area in a patient comprises an elongate inner shaft having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen therebetween. A distal tip assembly (48) is adjacent the distal end of the elongate inner shaft, and the distal tip assembly comprises an energy source (12) and a sensor. The energy source (12) is adapted to deliver energy to the target tissue so as to create a zone of ablation in the target tissue. The system (10) also has an elongate outer shaft having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen therebetween. The elongate inner shaft is slidably disposed in the elongate outer shaft lumen, and is rotatable, bendable and linearly slidable relative to the elongate outer shaft. The elongate outer shaft is rotatable, bendable and linearly slidable relative to the target tissue. The system also has a bending mechanism configured to move the elongate inner shaft or the elongate outer shaft through a series of bending movements such that the energy source (12) directs the energy from the energy source (12) to the target tissue, and the energy source (12) moves back and forth and sweeps across a majority of the treatment area. 9339823
