Abstract
Abstract Systems and methods for ablating body tissue use an electrode for contacting tissue to form a tissue-electrode interface. The electrode is adapted to be connected to a source of ablation energy to conduct ablation energy for transmission by the electrode into tissue at the tissue-electrode interface. The electrode is preferably cooled. The systems and methods include multiple temperature sensing elements. One element senses tissue temperature. A second element senses electrode temperature. A third element senses the rate at which the electrode is cooled. The systems and methods control the supply of ablation energy to the electrode based, at least in part, upon the multiple temperatures sensed by the different temperature sensing elements.
