Abstract

A method of delivering pulsed electric field energy to perform ablation of a tissue includes providing a pulse train to an electrode. The pulse train may include a first set of pulses with a first pulse width to generate first electric field and a second set of pulses with a second pulse width greater than the first pulse width to generate a second electric field. The electrode may be positioned at a same position during generation of the first electric field and the second electric field. The first electric field may be configured to have a higher electroporation effect on the first elongated cells having a first orientation than on second elongated cells having a second orientation. The second electric field may be configured to have a higher electroporation effect on the second cells than on the first cells.
