Ablation instruments and methods are disclosed for ablating diseased tissue such as cardiac tissue. The ablation device can remotely apply ablative energy to biological tissue and comprises a flexible elongate member having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal lumen extending therebetween. An energy emitting element is disposed within the longitudinal lumen of the flexible elongate member. The energy emitting element has a proximal end and a distal end for emitting energy along at least a portion of its length. The device is configured to emit a variable amount of energy along a length of the flexible elongate member. The method includes introducing the flexible elongate member into a predetermined tissue site to ablate a target tissue. The target tissue is ablated, coagulated or photochemically modulated without damaging surrounding tissue.

L'invention concerne des instruments et des procédés d'ablation qui servent à ablater un tissu malade tel qu'un tissu cardiaque. Le dispositif d'ablation peut appliquer à distance une énergie d'ablation à des tissus biologiques. Il comprend en outre un élément allongé souple doté d'une extrémité proximale et d'une extrémité distale séparées par un passage longitudinal. Un élément à émission d'énergie est placé dans le passage longitudinal de l'élément allongé souple. L'élément à émission d'énergie comporte une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale pour émettre de l'énergie le long d'au moins une partie de sa longueur. Ce dispositif est configuré pour émettre une quantité variable d'énergie sur la longueur de l'élément allongé souple. Ce procédé consiste à introduire l'élément allongé souple dans le site de tissu prédéterminé pour ablater le tissu cible. Le tissu cible est alors ablaté, coagulé ou modulé photochimiquement sans endommager les tissus alentours.
