Abstract

A pulsed field ablation medical device. Among other things, the medical device includes processing circuitry in communication with an electrosurgical generator and a plurality of electrodes. In one example, the processing circuitry is configured to determine a desired lesion characteristic; determine a first waveform parameter based on the desired lesion characteristic; deliver, via the plurality of electrodes, a first pulsed field waveform of the plurality of pulsed field waveforms based on the first waveform parameter to ablate the area of tissue; measure a second lesion characteristic based on a result of delivering the first pulsed field waveform; determine a second waveform parameter based on the second lesion characteristic; deliver, via the plurality of electrodes, a second pulsed field waveform of the plurality of pulsed field waveforms based on the second waveform parameter to ablate the area of tissue.
