Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for electroporation ablation therapy are disclosed herein, with a cinch device for positioning an ablation catheter relative to tissue during a cardiac ablation procedure. In some embodiments, a distal end of a first device may be advanced into a proximal end of a first lumen of a second device. The first device may be advanced from a distal end of the first lumen and the first device may be looped around tissue of a patient. The first device may be advanced into a distal end of a second lumen of the second device. The distal end of the first device may be advanced from a proximal end of the second lumen. The proximal and distal ends of the first device may be advanced away from a proximal end of the second device to increase contact between the first device and the tissue.
