Patent application number	Description	Published
20100262132	Compound Bipolar Ablation Device and Method - Method and apparatus for ablating target tissue adjacent pulmonary veins of a patient. The ablation device can include a lower jaw assembly including a proximal jaw having a proximal electrode and a distal jaw having a distal electrode, and an upper jaw assembly including an upper jaw having an upper electrode. A proximal actuator can be movable between a first position in which the proximal jaw is open and a second position in which the proximal jaw is clamped with respect to the upper jaw. A distal actuator can be movable between a third position in which the distal jaw is open and a fourth position in which the distal jaw is clamped with respect to the upper jaw.	10-14-2010
20110071519	Clamping Ablation Tool and Method - Method and apparatus for ablating target tissue adjacent pulmonary veins of a patient. A clamping ablation tool can include an upper arm having an upper neck, a link assembly, and an upper actuator. The link assembly can include a distal electrode and a proximal electrode. The clamping ablation tool can include a lower arm that mates with the upper arm. The lower arm can include a lower neck, a distal jaw, and a lower actuator. The distal jaw can include a jaw electrode, and the lower actuator can control movement of the distal jaw.	03-24-2011

20100204716	METHODS AND DEVICES FOR OCCLUSION OF AN ATRIAL APPENDAGE - Some embodiments of the invention provide a system for occluding a left atrial appendage of a patient. Some embodiments of the system can include a ring occluder that can be positioned around the left atrial appendage and a ring applicator to position the ring occluder with respect to the left atrial appendage. One embodiment discloses a method of accessing endocardial surfaces of the heart through the atrial appendage. Additional embodiments of the invention provide a clip occluder that can be positioned around the left atrial appendage. A clip applicator can position the clip occluder with respect to the left atrial appendage.	08-12-2010
20100298824	Bipolar Ablation Device, System and Method for Minimally Invasive Isolation of Pulmonary Veins in a Sub-Xiphoid Approach - Structure and method for using a sub-xiphoid ablation clamp for ablating tissue of a patient. The clamp has an elongate shaft having a major axis, first and second opposing jaws configured to open and close along a first plane, a first and second ablation element positioned along the first and second jaws configured to ablate the tissue positioned therebetween, an actuable joint operatively coupled between the shaft and the opposing jaws and configured to move the opposing jaws to a selectable angle relative to the major axis of the elongate shaft along a second plane orthogonal to the first plane. The ablation clamp has a handle operatively coupled to the shaft having an actuator configured to actuate the actuable joint and a trigger mechanism to open and close the opposing jaws.	11-25-2010
