Abstract
A method of preparing and ablating heart tissue includes a pre-treatment step of delivering a jet of conductive fluid to a portion of heart tissue. The conductive fluid is delivered using an injection device such as a hand-held jet injector, probe, or catheter. After injecting the heart tissue with the conductive fluid, RF energy is delivered to the site of the injection to form a lesion. The method enables a physician to produce large and accurately placed lesions within the treated tissue.
