Abstract

This invention is a method for applying energy to biological tissue. An electromagnetic energy source (40) is directed to applying the energy to a region of the tissue (60), so as to ablate a portion of the tissue in the region. Preferably, cooling of tissue in the region is initiated subsequent to the ablation.
