Abstract
A medical apparatus includes a probe, which includes an insertion tube configured for insertion into a body cavity of a patient, a distal structure connected distally to the insertion tube and including a plurality of electrodes, which are configured to contact tissue within the body, and temperature sensors fixed to the distal structure and configured to output signals indicative of a temperature of the tissue contacted by the electrodes. The apparatus further includes an electrical signal generator configured to apply between one or more pairs of the electrodes bipolar pulses having an amplitude sufficient to cause irreversible electroporation (IRE) in the tissue contacted by the spines, and a controller configured to control a timing of the bipolar pulses applied by the electrical signal generator responsively to the signals output by the temperature sensors.
