Abstract:
One aspect of the present disclosure includes a catheter. The catheter includes a catheter body having a temperature-controlled anchor element thereon that is configured to attach the catheter body to tissue by forming a congealed adherence layer between the anchor element and the tissue. The catheter also includes an ablation element connected to the catheter body. The ablation element is axially spaced apart from the anchor element. The ablation element is configured to ablate tissue when the anchor element is attached to the tissue.
