    Abstract: A method and system for shrinking dilatations of a body, removing excess, weak or diseased tissue, and strengthening remaining tissues of the lumen walls. A catheter is disposed near the dilatation and fixed in position by inflatable occlusion balloons. Body fluids present in the occluded dilatation are evacuated and treatment fluid is exuded under pressure into the dilatation. Pressure is maintained by the treatment fluid while energy is applied by the catheter to heat the treatment fluid, causing the lumen walls to absorb the treatment fluid. Additional energy is then applied so as to preferentially heat the lumen wall tissues which have absorbed the treatment fluid, while at the same time treatment fluid is circulated to cool the inner surface of the lumen walls. The dilatation is occluded, a saline solution is introduced and absorbed into the lumen-wall tissue in the occluded region of the dilatation and then heated by application of radio frequency (“RF”) or other energy in order to soften only the lumen-wall tissue of the dilatation, the dilatation is shrunk by application of a chilled saline solution and a vacuum, and additional RF or other energy is emitted to ablate, further shrink, and harden only the lumen-wall tissue of the dilatation, without destroying the inner surface of the lumen or other tissues of the body beyond the lumen walls, thereby promoting growth of epithelial cells.

    Abstract: A method and system for treating body structures or tissue allows treatment by any of ablation, coating, expansion, plumping, shaping, and shrinking. Treatment sitesinclude any of a sphincter, sinus or orifice. During treatment, electrodes emerge from apertures in a balloon. The balloon with liquid from a circulating bath cools tissue in direct contact with electrodes and immediately adjacent, so that discrete regions are treated, with minimal damage to adjacent structures. Sensors, coupled to electrodes, measure treatment properties such as: temperature, impedance and nervous activity. Measurements are used for: diagnostic assessment, determining treatment parameters, providing nervous stimulation and/or blocking, and feedback for controlling energy delivery. The catheter includes an optical path that can be coupled to external viewing apparatus. Endoscopic methods, including fluoroscopic, fiber optic, or radioscopy allow examining tissue and determining position of electrodes. The catheter includes a suction apparatus used to remove liquids obscuring treatment area and to gently conform treatment area to electrodes.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for control contraction of tissue that includes collagen fibers. The apparatus includes a handpiece, and an electrode with an electrode proximal end associated with the handpiece. A distal end of the electrode has a geometry that delivers a controlled amount of energy to the tissue for a desired contraction of the collagen fibers. This is achieved while dissociation and breakdown of the collagen fibers is minimized. The handpiece, with electrode, is adapted to be introduced through an operating cannula in percutaneous applications. Additionally, an operating cannula may be included in the apparatus and be attached to the handpiece. The apparatus and method provides for a desired level of contraction of collagen soft tissue without dissociation or breakdown of collagen fibers.
