Radio-Frequency Ablation System And Method Using Multiple Electrodes

US Patent:
8486065, Jul 16, 2013
Filed:
Jun 10, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/167681
Inventors:
Fred T. Lee - Madison WI, US
Dieter Haemmerich - Madison WI, US
John G. Webster - Madison WI, US
Andrew S. Wright - Madison WI, US
Chris D. Johnson - Madison WI, US
David M. Mahvi - Middleton WI, US
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
International Classification:
A61B 18/18
US Classification:
606 50, 606 34
Abstract:
Efficient ablation with multiple electrodes is obtained by rapidly switching electric power to the electrodes. In this way, shielding effects caused by the field around each electrode which would otherwise create cool spots, are avoided. Complex inter-electrode current flows are also avoided.

Air-Core Microwave Ablation Antennas

US Patent:
2006027, Dec 7, 2006
Filed:
Sep 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/236985
Inventors:
Christopher Brace - Middleton WI, US
Daniel van der Weide - Madison WI, US
Paul Laeseke - Madison WI, US
Fred Lee - Madison WI, US
International Classification:
A61B 18/18, A61N 1/00
US Classification:
606033000, 607156000
Abstract:
A method and device delivers microwave power to an antenna through a coaxial cable utilizing air or other gases as its dielectric core. The cable includes supports made of low-loss materials to keep the inner conductor centered in the cable, and defining spaces therebetween for the air or gas. Channels in the supports allow the air or gas to circulate in the cable. The gas may be chilled or cooled to provide an addition level of heat dissipation. The device enables delivery of large amounts of power to tissue without undue heating of the feed cable or peripheral tissues, and without increasing the diameter of the feeding cable or antenna, keeping the antenna safe for percutaneous use.

2008003, Feb 7, 2008
Filed:
Mar 26, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/728460
Inventors:
Daniel van der Weide - Madison WI, US
Fred Lee - Madison WI, US
Paul Laeseke - Madison WI, US
Christopher Brace - Madison WI, US
Assignee:
Micrablate - Middleton WI
International Classification:
A61B 18/18
US Classification:
606041000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to systems and devices for delivering energy to tissue for a wide variety of applications, including medical procedures (e.g., tissue ablation, resection, cautery, vascular thrombosis, treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and dysrhythmias, electrosurgery, tissue harvest, etc.). In particular, the present invention relates to systems and devices for the delivery of energy with heat transfer ability. In some embodiments, the systems and devices also have variable characteristic impedance as a result of the use of heat transfer materials. In certain embodiments, methods are provided for treating a tissue region (e.g., a tumor) through application of energy with the systems and devices of the present invention.

Radiofrequency Ablation System Using Multiple Prong Probes

US Patent:
2005001, Jan 13, 2005
Filed:
Aug 5, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/911927
Inventors:
Fred Lee - Madison WI, US
Thomas Winter - Middleton WI, US
Dieter Haemmerich - Madison WI, US
Lisa Sampson - Cambria WI, US
International Classification:
A61B018/14
US Classification:
606041000
Abstract:
Efficient ablation with multiple prong electrodes is obtained by electrically isolating the prongs from each other and rapidly switching electric power between the prongs, between a prong and a ground pad, or both. In this way, power distribution to a tumor can be controlled efficiently without the need to change probe geometry.

Multipolar Electrode System For Volumetric Radiofrequency Ablation

US Patent:
2004023, Nov 18, 2004
Filed:
Mar 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/796239
Inventors:
Fred Lee - Madison WI, US
Dieter Haemmerich - Madison WI, US
John Webster - Madison WI, US
Andrew Wright - Madison WI, US
Chris Johnson - Madison WI, US
David Mahvi - Middleton WI, US
International Classification:
A61B018/18
US Classification:
606/032000, 606/041000
Abstract:
In radiofrequency ablation, larger lesion volumes are obtained for a given energy delivery by energizing at least two electrodes on either side of the tumor so that current is focused between them rather than dispersed radially to a large area ground plate. Modified standard umbrella probes may be used or a specialized dual electrode array may be fabricated for simplified use. Differential impedance between tumor and non-tumor tissues at certain frequencies is exploited to further improve lesion shape and size.
