This invention is systems and methods that ablate body tissue using an electrode (16) for contacting tissue at a tissue electrode interface to transmit ablation energy at a determinable power level. The systems and methods include an element (50) to remove heat from the electrode (16) at a determinable rate. The systems and methods employ a processing element (98) to derive a prediction of the maximum tissue temperature condition occurring beneath the tissue electrode interface. The processing element (98) controls the power level of ablation energy transmitted by the electrode (16), or the rate at which the electrode (16) is cooled, or both, based, at least in part, upon the maximum tissue temperature prediction.

Systèmes et procédés permettant l'ablation de tissus corporels à l'aide d'une électrode (16) destinée à venir en contact avec des tissus au niveau d'une interface électrode-tissus afin de transmettre de l'énergie d'ablation à un niveau de puissance pouvant être déterminé. Les systèmes et procédés de la présente invention comportent un élément (50) permettant à l'électrode de libérer de la chaleur selon un débit pouvant être déterminé. Ils comportent en outre un élément de traitement (98) permettant de déduire une prédiction concernant la température maximale des tissus sous l'interface tissus-électrode. Ledit élément de traitement (98) commande le niveau de puissance de l'énergie d'ablation transmise par l'électrode (16), ou une vitesse à laquelle l'électrode (16) est refroidie, ou les deux, sur la base, au moins en partie, de la prédiction de température maximale des tissus.
