CATHÉTER D'ABLATION RF POUR LE TRAITEMENT DE LA MYOCARDIOPATHIE HYPERTROPHIQUE ET PROCÉDÉ DE TRAITEMENT DE LA MYOCARDIOPATHIE HYPERTROPHIQUE L'UTILISANT
An RF catheter for treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy includes: a body part constituting a catheter body made of a flexible and soft material； and an intraseptal insertion part provided at a distal part of the body part and having one or more electrodes, a tapered tip gradually becoming thinner toward an end thereof, and a guidewire lumen therein, into which a guidewire is inserted, so that during hypertrophic cardiomyopathy treatment, the intraseptal insertion part is inserted into the interventricular septum along the guidewire. A method of treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by using an RF ablation catheter includes: i) positioning the guidewire to a hypertrophied septum through a coronary sinus and a septal vein； ii) transferring the RF ablation catheter to the hypertrophied septum； and iii) performing RF ablation by applying RF energy to the electrodes provided at an end part of the RF ablation catheter by using an RF generator.
