摘要: An apparatus and method for treating a cardiac condition with visual inspection of tissue treatment site includes the step delivering an expanding member formed on distal end catheter to position adjacent area within patient's heart. The expandable has elastic portion configured conform area. further steps thereby allowing positioning energy emitter at first location inner lumen catheter. A visible aiming beam is projected during ablative delivered from resulting in spot lesion. coincident form pulsed light allow intermittent lesion times when not onto area, characteristics sufficiency
