A catheter (20) having an elongate shaft (21) including a proximal and a distal end. The shaft (21) includes a conductor (22). An electrode (23) is disposed at the distal end of the shaft (21) and is connected to the conductor (22). The electrode (23) has a generally annular, cross-sectional shape. The annular shape defines an opening within the electrode. An insulator (26) surrounds the conductor (22). In accordance with the method of the present invention, a crater wound (12) can be formed through the endocardium and into the myocardium of a patient's heart (10). Collateral damage to the myocardium can be made by infusing pressurized fluid into the crater wound (12).

L'invention concerne un cathéter (20) comprenant un tube allongé (21) ayant une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale. Ledit tube (21) comporte un conducteur (22). Une électrode (23) est placée au niveau de l'extrémité distale du tube (21) et est connectée au conducteur (22). Ladite électrode (23) présente une forme transversale généralement annulaire. Cette forme annulaire définit une ouverture au sein de l'électrode. Un isolant (26) entoure le conducteur (22). Selon le procédé de l'invention, une plaie (12) en forme de cratère peut être formée dans l'endocarde et dans le myocarde du coeur (10) d'un patient. Une lésion collatérale peut être pratiquée dans le myocarde par la perfusion de liquide sous pression dans la plaie (12) en forme de cratère.
