Abstract
A catheter for ablation of tissue through irreversible electroporation includes an electrode assembly comprising a flexible circuit having a distally located central flex circuit hub and a plurality of flex circuit branches extending proximally from the hub portion, each of the flex circuit branches defining, at least in part, an electrode assembly spline. The flexible circuit further includes a distal ablation electrode including an ablation electrode hub portion, and a plurality of radial segments integrally formed with the ablation electrode hub portion, each of the radial segments extending proximally along a portion of a respective one of the flex circuit branches and terminating in a proximal end, a plurality of proximal ablation electrodes, each of the proximal ablation electrodes located on a respective one of the flex circuit branches and having a distal end spaced from the proximal end of the adjacent radial segment of the distal ablation electrode.
