Abstract
An adapter can include circuitry that can toggle between a mapping state and an ablation state. In the mapping state the circuitry can connect the catheter to a mapping system so that the catheter can measure electrical signals from multiple independent electrodes on an end effector of the catheter. In the ablation state the circuitry can connect the catheter to an ablation generator so that the catheter can apply electrical signals to the electrodes to ablate using IRE and/or RF techniques. The circuitry can short together a group of electrodes in the ablation state and electrically isolate the electrodes in that group from each other when in the mapping state. Using the adapter, the catheter can ablate and map at a treatment site without having to be repositioned between the mapping and ablation steps.
