Abstract
Systems and methods used to ablate tissues using laser energy are disclosed. The systems and methods may be configured to remotely displace a laser fiber to ablate more than one zone of tissue. The systems can include a displacement device comprising a linear displacement member configured to longitudinally displace the laser fiber. The systems can also include a sleeve configured to maintain a cooling catheter in a longitudinal stationary position when the laser fiber is displaced.
