Abstract
Systems and methods ablate tissue within the body using a flexible guide element having an axis. A mechanism flexes the element along its axis. The flexible element carries a region for emitting energy. The region creates a lesion having a contour that follows the flexure of the element. The region creates a single continuous lesion that is curvilinear, long and thin. Manipulating such systems and methods creates diverse, specially shaped lesions in body tissue.
