    摘要: An apparatus includes a body configured to be at least partially inserted into a rectum of a patient. The body defines a first passageway and a second passageway between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The first passageway is configured to receive a medical tool and the second passageway is configured to communicate an insufflation medium. An insufflation port is coupled to the second passageway and is configured to communicate the insufflation medium to the second passageway. A retention portion is coupled to the body and is configured to have a dimension transverse to an axis defined by the body sufficient to retain at least a portion of the body in the rectum. The retention portion is configured to be located beyond an anus of the patient.

    摘要: A system for treating a target tissue region (e.g., malignant tissue) is provided. A hyperthermic probe coupled to a source thermal energy is placed into contact with the target tissue region, and the target tissue region is exposed to a therapeutic x-ray radiation beam. The probe is operated to increase the temperature of the target tissue region, thereby facilitating a therapeutic effect of the radiation beam. Image data of the probe containing a fiducial datum is acquired while in contact with the target tissue region, a position of the target tissue region within a treatment coordinate system is determined based on the fiducial datum, and the radiation beam is spatially adjusted relative to the target tissue region based on the determined position of the target tissue region.

    摘要: A tissue ablation probe comprises an electrically conductive probe shaft, at least one electrode, and an electrically insulative sheath disposed on the probe shaft. The insulative sheath has thickened regions forming alternating ribs and depressions that longitudinally extend along the probe shaft. The ribs allow the ablation probe to be delivered through a tightly toleranced delivery device. While the ribs may shear off during the delivery process, the underlying probe shaft will remain covered by the remaining portion of the insulative sheath. The tissue ablation probe may be used in a tissue ablation assembly that additionally comprises a delivery cannula having a lumen in which the tissue ablation probe may be removably disposed. In this case, the sheath has an outer periphery having a size substantially the same as the diameter of the lumen, so that the inner surface of the delivery cannula cooperates with the depressions to create lumens that longitudinally extend within the cannula.

    摘要: A stent for maintaining an open passageway through a body lumen, such as the prostatic urethra of a male patient, includes a coil segment and a flexible polymer material encapsulating the coil segment. The coil segment defines a lumen extending therethrough and includes a distal portion, a middle portion, and a proximal portion. Both the distal and proximal portions of the coil segment have a greater outer diameter in comparison to the middle portion, so as to enhance retention of the stent after placement within the patient's body. The coil segment is made from a wound element that includes one or more spaced windings. The flexible polymer material is disposed between adjacent spaced winding to form an imperforate flexible webbing that encapsulates the coil segment and prevents the growth of tissue between the windings and into the coil segment's lumen when the stent is placed within the patient.

    摘要: An apparatus (10) for delivering an agent to a target site within a body includes an outer tubular body (12), an inner tubular body (20) slidably disposed within the outer tubular body, a substance delivery port (60, 25) located on the inner tubular body, and an electrode (50) secured to the outer tubular body. The delivery port can be used to deliver a substance to the target site, and the electrode can be used to seal an access channel leading to the treatment site, thereby substantially preventing migration of material from the delivery site. In order to minimize the profile of the apparatus, a braided conductor (352) can extend through the wall of the outer tubular body, thereby providing a means for delivering electrical energy to the electrode (50, 330), while strengthening the wall of the outer tubular body to minimize the risk of rupture during delivery of the substance.
