An intra-cardiac mapping system is based on locating the ports through which blood flows in or out of the heart chambers. For many procedures, such as ablation to cure atrial fibrillation, locating the pulmonary veins and the mitral valve accurately allows to perform a Maze procedure. The location of the ports and valves is based on using the convective cooling effect of the blood flow. The mapping can be performed by a catheter-deployed expandable net or a scanning catheter. The same net or catheter can also perform the ablation procedure.

1. A method executed by a control computer of a system, the system including an array of elements configured to be introduced into an intra-cardiac cavity, at least one of the elements configured at least to sense temperature, the control computer coupled to the array of elements, and the method comprising: locating points on a wall of the intra-cardiac cavity based on sensing blood flow with the elements;mapping the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity based on the located points to form a map presented by a display;updating the map while ablating a pattern into the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity with at least some of the elements; andmonitoring, with at least one of the at least one of the elements, temperature during each of the locating and the ablating,wherein each of the elements is responsive to convective heat transfer by the blood flow, and wherein the method further comprises providing a visual representation of one or more regions of the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity concurrently with each of one or more ports in a surface of the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity with respect to the one or more regions based at least on the sensed blood flow. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensing blood flow with the elements comprises a sensing of temperature with the elements. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising switching between a mapping mode, in which the mapping is performed, and an ablation mode in which the ablating is performed. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising repeatedly switching between the mapping mode and the ablation mode during the ablating. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising including the visual representation in the map presented by the display. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensing blood flow includes receiving signals that are indicative of convective heat transfer by the blood flow. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the ablating includes providing current to at least one element of the at least some of the elements that is proximate to one of the one or more ports in the surface of the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity, wherein the one of the one or more ports is provided by a port of a pulmonary vein in the surface of the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the elements are arranged on a structure of the system, and the structure is expandable between a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration, and wherein the method further comprises percutaneously delivering the elements to the intra-cardiac cavity in the compressed configuration. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising expanding the structure into the expanded configuration within the intra-cardiac cavity. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the pattern is in accordance with a Maze procedure surrounding a port in a surface of the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising causing selected ones of the elements to ablate the surface of the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity at a location determined based at least on the visual representation, the determined location located on the surface away from a respective location on the surface of the tissue wall interrupted by each of the one or more ports. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the visual representation specifies a size of each port of the one or more ports, and the method further comprises causing selected ones of the elements to ablate the surface of the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity at a location determined based at least in part on the size of each port of the one or more ports specified by the visual representation, the determined location located on the surface away from each of the one or more ports. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising causing selected ones of the elements to ablate the surface of the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity at a location other than a location of each of the one or more ports in the surface of the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the ablating includes bipolar ablation. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining a size of a port in the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity based at least in part on temperature sensed by one or more of the elements. 16. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining a location of a port in the wall of the intra-cardiac cavity based at least in part on temperature sensed by one or more of the elements.
