An optical fiber device for forming channels within a wall of a patient's heart, and particularly the epicardium, which has an elongated optical fiber, a probe tip secured to the distal end of the optical fiber and an outer support tube secured to the proximal portion of the probe tip and a distal portion of the optical fiber proximal to the probe tip. A handle is described for a flexible optical fiber device which greatly facilitates delivery of the distal end of the optical fiber device to a desired location on the exterior of a patient's heart.

L'invention concerne un dispositif à fibre optique pour la formation de canaux à l'intérieur d'une paroi du coeur d'un patient, et notamment l'épycarde, comportant une fibre optique allongée, une pointe de sonde assujettie à l'extrémité distale de la fibre optique et un tube de support extérieur assujetti à la partie proximale de la pointe de sonde et à une partie distale de la fibre optique en amont de la pointe de sonde. L'invention concerne également un manche destiné à un dispositif à fibre optique souple, qui facilite considérablement l'acheminement de l'extrémité distale du dispositif à fibre optique jusqu'à un endroit désiré sur la face extérieure du coeur d'un patient.
