An ablation and monitoring system comprises a catheter, an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system, and an ablation generator. The catheter comprises one or more optical fibers to transmit a light beam to a tissue material and collect a reflected light from the tissue material. The OCT system is in optical communication with the catheter via the one or more optical fibers, providing the light beam to the one or more optical fibers and receiving the reflected light from the one or more optical fibers. The ablation generator is in electrical communication with the OCT system and with the catheter. The ablation generator provides radio frequency energy to the catheter for ablating the tissue material, monitors and assesses the ablation based on an information signal received from the OCT system.
