    Abstract: According to the present invention, a catheter having at least one multi-purpose lumen formed through the catheter terminates proximal a relatively complex-shaped distal portion thereof. In one form of this embodiment, the relatively complex-shaped distal portion comprises a looped portion having diagnostic- and/or ablation-type electrodes coupled thereto and an elongated diameter-adjusting member coupled proximal the distal end of the looped portion. The multi-purpose lumen may be used to alternately accommodate a variety of dedicated materials; such as, (i) a guide wire for initial deployment or later repositioning of the catheter, (ii) a volume or flow of a contrast media and the like, (iii) a deployable hollow needle or tube and the like used to biopsy adjacent tissue or dispense a therapeutic agent into a volume of tissue, and (iv) a cooling fluid, such as saline solution and the like dispensed at least during therapeutic tissue ablation procedures.

    Abstract translation: 根据本发明,具有通过导管形成的至少一个多用途腔的导管终止于其相对复杂形状的远端部分的近端。 在该实施例的一种形式中,相对复杂形状的远侧部分包括具有耦合到其上的诊断和/或消融型电极的环形部分和在环形部分的远端附近耦合的细长直径调节构件。 多用途腔可用于交替容纳各种专用材料; 例如,(i)用于初始部署或稍后重新定位导管的导丝,(ii)造影剂等的体积或流动,(iii)用于活检相邻的可展开的空心针或管等 组织或将治疗剂分配到一定体积的组织中,和(iv)至少在治疗性组织消融过程期间分配的冷却液,例如盐水溶液等。
