title: A bipolar electrode for vascular electrocoagulation with alternating current.
abstract: A bipolar electrode for transcatheter electrocoagulation with alternating current is described. This electrode avoids the problem of variation of the electric impedance of the monopolar electrode/ground plate system. It allows quick, safe, and reliable endovascular occlusion of vessels.
