This project will investigate the application of microwave heating for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Two applications are planned: ablation of cardiac tissue responsible for tachycardia, and removal of coronary plague (angioplasty). The microwave energy will be delivered through miniature antennas introduced through catheters. Initial efforts will concentrate on antenna design; the design will be then tested in a small number of animal experiments. If successful, the project will result in the development of new minimally invasive surgical techniques.

该项目将研究微波加热在心血管疾病治疗中的应用。 计划有两种应用：消融引起心动过速的心脏组织，以及去除冠状动脉斑块（血管成形术）。 微波能量将通过导管引入的微型天线传输。 最初的工作将集中在天线设计上；然后，该设计将在少量动物实验中进行测试。 如果成功，该项目将导致新的微创手术技术的开发。
