摘要:
A method of promoting the healing of a lesion in a smooth muscle (200), comprises selecting a smooth muscle portion having a lesion, and applying a non-excitory electric field (210) to the portion, which reduces the mechanical activity of the portion.
摘要:
A method of modifying the force of contraction of at least a portion of a heart chamber, including providing a subject having a heart, comprising at least a portion having an activation, and applying a non-excitatory electric field having a given duration, at a delay after the activation, to the portion, which causes the force of contraction to be increased by a least 5%.

摘要:
A method of excavating tissue in the body, including bringing a catheter (60) to a location, injecting microbubbles (84) at the location and causing cavitation of tissue (76) at the location using ultrasound. Preferably, the microbubbles (84) are injected directly into the tissue, such as by using a hollow needle (62). Alternatively, microbubbles (84) are injected into the vascular bed of the tissue at the location, so that the capillaries (86) are infused with microbubbles (84).

摘要:
A method for treating tissue comprising the steps of providing a probe including a body having a distal tip, a position sensor for determining a position of the distal tip and a hollow needle movable from the distal tip of the body. The probe is brought into contact with a tissue portion and the hollow needle is moved out of the distal tip of the body and into the tissue portion whereby a therapeutic agent is injected into the tissue portion through the hollow needle.
