    摘要: A percutaneous treatment catheter comprises a canopy (12) having a treatment side adapted to provide at least one of a variety of treatments to a first tissue layer and a protection side that protects adjacent tissue from the treatment. Treatments include, but are not limited to, those that act to cause an inflammatory response resulting in forming scar tissue that would tend to form adhesions, such as, but not limited to, for the treatment of pleural effusions. In an embodiment, a treatment catheter comprises a shaft (20) having a shaft and a treatment head (10) disposed about the shaft distal end, the treatment head adapted to present a low profile in a closed state and a broad profile in a 10 deployed state, the treatment head adapted to percutaneously treat one of first and second tissue layers and protect the other of the first and second tissue layers from the treatment.

    摘要: Devices and methods for ablating tissue in the wall of various organs of the gastrointestinal tract of a patient in order to cure or ameliorate metabolic pathophysiological conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes mellitus are provided. Ablational treatment of target areas may be fractional or partial, rendering a post-treatment portion of target tissue ablated and another portion that is substantially intact. Fractional ablation is achieved by controlling the delivery of ablational energy across the surface area being treated, and controlling the depth of energy penetration into tissue. Surface area control of energy delivery may controlled by the spatial pattern of distributed ablation elements or by the selective activation of a subset of a dense pattern of ablation elements. Embodiments of the device include an ablational electrode array that spans 360 degrees and an array that spans an arc of less than 360 degrees.
