摘要: A method for treating a sphincter provides a polymer material having a liquid state. The method also provides a catheter having a distal end, a tissue piercing device carried by the distal end, and an energy delivery device coupled to the tissue piercing device. The tissue piercing device has a lumen. The method introduces the catheter into an esophagus and pierces an exterior sphincter tissue surface within with the tissue piercing device. The method advances the tissue piercing device into an interior sphincter tissue site and conveys the polymer material while in a liquid state through the lumen into the interior sphincter tissue site. The method delivers energy to the tissue piercing device to transform the polymer material into a less liquid state within the interior sphincter tissue site, to thereby remodel the sphincter.

摘要翻译: 用于治疗括约肌的方法提供具有液体状态的聚合物材料。 该方法还提供了具有远端的导管,由远端承载的组织刺穿装置,以及耦合到组织刺穿装置的能量输送装置。 组织穿刺装置具有内腔。 该方法将导管引入食道并刺穿组织穿刺装置内的外括约肌组织表面。 该方法使组织穿刺装置进入内部括约肌组织部位,并将液体状态下的聚合物材料通过内腔输送到内括约肌组织部位。 该方法将能量传递到组织刺穿装置,以将聚合物材料转变成内部括约肌组织部位内的较少液体状态,从而改变括约肌。

摘要: An apparatus that reduces a volume of a selected site in an interior of the tongue includes a handpiece means and an electrode means at least partially positioned in the interior of the handpiece means. The electrode means includes an electrode means electromagnetic energy delivery surface and is advance able from the interior of the handpiece means into the interior of the tongue. An electrode means advancement member is coupled to the electrode means and configured to advance the electrode means an advancement distance in the interior of the tongue. The advancement distance is sufficient for the electrode means electromagnetic energy delivery surface to deliver electromagnetic energy to the selected tissue site and reduce a volume of the selected site without damaging a hypoglossal nerve. Means are provided to provide a controlled delivery of energy to the electrode means. A cable means is coupled to the electrode means.
