Abstract
An electrosurgical device for the resolution of an occlusive deposit within a lumen of the body, and a method of using such a device. The device has a distal end that is insertable within and along the lumen to a desired position with respect to the occlusive deposit. The distal end of the device includes a number of electrodes that are spaced about the device. The electrodes may be individually supplied with current, so that the location of resolution is controlled within the lumen.
