Abstract

Medical devices (10) used for formation of circumferential ablation lesions in vessels associated with the heart are disclosed.
The components of one preferred system includes a catheter (16), a pair of seals (20, 22) secured to the catheter (16), a system to introduce conductive media into a space between the seals and an ablating system (30).
