    Abstract: A microwave antenna having a curved configuration is described herein. The antenna portion is formed into various shapes whereby the antenna substantially encloses, by a partial or complete loop or enclosure, at least a majority of the tissue to be irradiated. When microwave energy is delivered through the antenna, the curved configuration forms an ablation field or region defined by the curved antenna and any tissue enclosed within the ablation region becomes irradiated by the microwave energy. The microwave antenna is deployed through one of several methods, and multiple curved antennas can be used in conjunction with one another. Moreover, RF energy can also be used at the distal tip of the antenna to provide a cutting tip for the antenna during deployment in tissue.

    Abstract translation: 这里描述了具有弯曲构造的微波天线。 天线部分形成为各种形状,由此天线通过部分或完整的环路或外壳基本上封闭待照射的组织的至少大部分。 当通过天线传送微波能量时,弯曲构造形成由弯曲天线限定的消融场或区域,并且包围在消融区域内的任何组织被微波能量照射。 微波天线通过几种方法之一来部署,并且多个弯曲天线可以彼此结合使用。 而且,也可以在天线的远端使用RF能量,以在组织中展开期间为天线提供切割尖端。
