Abstract
Ablation catheters and systems include flexible catheter tips with at least one positioning element and ports for delivery of an ablative agent to a target tissue. The positioning element is used to define a treatment zone and position the catheter proximate the target tissue for ablation. Ablative fluid is delivered to the target tissue at subtherapeutic, therapeutic, or supratherapeutic doses over different time periods, with rest periods between each dose, to cause effective ablation of the target tissue.
