    Abstract: The present invention seeks to provide an implant configured to utilize at least two different scar-generating mechanisms that are generated in sequential or overlapping stages. For example, in one embodiment the present invention provides an expandable device that can be positioned at a desired target location within a patient to generate mechanical ablation damage. After a predetermined amount of mechanical ablation has occurred, additional ablation damage is generated by a different source, such as energy delivery, drug delivery, or inflammatory material delivery. In this respect, the overall ablation scarring can be better controlled by utilizing the ablation techniques that are most appropriate at specific phases of a technique or locations within a patient.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention provides a bipolar ablation device with multiple needle electrodes that penetrate a desired target tissue. These electrodes may be arranged in a variety of therapeutically effective arrangements, such as a comb-like shape, a multi-needle wheel, or an expanding bow design. By contacting and preferably penetrating the cardiac tissue with bipolar electrodes, a user can more precisely create ablation-induced scarring and thus electrical block at desired target locations without causing unwanted damage and related complications.
