摘要:
This document describes methods and devices for treating ventricular fibrillation. For example, this document describes methods of performing electroporation of a ventricle and electroporation catheters. The methods can include inserting a distal end portion of a catheter into a ventricle of a heart of a patient, inflating a balloon coupled to the distal end portion of the catheter, occluding a valve of the heart associated with the ventricle with the balloon, injecting a fluid into the ventricle via an aperture defined by the distal end portion of the catheter, and generating an electrical current via an electrode on the distal end portion of the catheter.
