Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a method for providing electrical communication with a heart using a catheter having a lasso electrode assembly with a moveable spine. The lasso electrode assembly may have an array of sensing electrodes and may be configured to engage the ostium of the vessel of a patient. The moveable spine may have an ablation electrode and may travel along track around the circumference of the lasso electrode assembly. By adjusting the position of the moveable spine, tissue may be ablated to form lesions around a circumference of the vessel.
