A treatment device and method for delivering electrical pulses capable of creating irreversible electroporation. The system may include a bipolar probe with open or closed perfusion with the purpose of controlling the electrical conductivity rise to eliminate electrical arcing, without significantly altering the electric field distribution and treatment zone. This invention may include perfusion together with the delivery of specific or customized pulse parameters to achieve clinically acceptable ablation sizes using a bipolar probe with while reducing the overall risk of arcing or system failure.
