Abstract
A method and system for directed pulsed electric field (PEF) ablation are disclosed. In one aspect, an irreversible electroporation (IRE) system includes processing circuitry configured to select a first set of electrodes positioned to produce a first electric field in a first direction in a region of tissue of a patient, and select a second set of electrodes positioned to produce a second electric field in a second direction in the region of tissue. The processing circuitry is configured to transmit a first IRE pulse to the first set of electrodes to cause emission of the first electric field and transmit a second IRE pulse to the second set of electrodes to cause emission of the second electric field. The first IRE pulse and the second IRE pulse are transmitted by the processing circuitry to control an electric field gradient along a path within the region of tissue.
