摘要:
Methods and devices for assessing, and treating patients having sympathetically mediated disease, involving augmented peripheral chemoreflex and heightened sympathetic tone by reducing chemosensor input to the nervous system via carotid body ablation. The methods may be performed using an ultrasound ablation catheter. The methods may also include imaging using at least one ultrasound imaging catheter.

摘要:
Apparatuses and methods for treating a heart failure patient by ablating a nerve of the thoracic splanchnic sympathetic nervous system to increase venous capacitance and reduce pulmonary blood pressure. A method comprising: inserting a catheter into a vein adjacent the nerve, applying stimulation energy and observing hemodynamic effects, applying ablation energy and observing hemodynamic effects, applying simulation energy after the ablation and observing hemodynamic effects and monitoring for presence of the lung in the ablation zone. An alternative method comprising: inserting a catheter into a vein adjacent the nerve, detecting that lung tissue is a safe distance from an ablation zone, and delivering ablation energy to the target nerve when lung tissue is a safe distance from the ablation zone.
摘要:
Systems, devices, and methods for transvascular ablation of target tissue. The devices and methods may, in some examples, be used for splanchnic nerve ablation to increase splanchnic venous blood capacitance to treat at least one of heart failure and hypertension. For example, the devices disclosed herein may be advanced endovascularly to a target vessel in the region of a thoracic splanchnic nerve (TSN), such as a greater splanchnic nerve (GSN) or a TSN nerve root. Also disclosed are method of treating heart failure, such as HFpEF, by endovascularly ablating a thoracic splanchnic nerve to increase venous capacitance and reduce pulmonary blood pressure.

摘要:
Planning for and/or assessment of an ablation procedure on one or both carotid bodies or carotid body chemoreceptors or carotid body nerves to treat patients having a sympathetically mediated cardiac, metabolic, and pulmonary disease (e.g. hypertension, CHF, diabetes, sleep disordered breathing) resulting from peripheral chemoreceptor hypersensitivity, carotid body hyperactivity, high carotid body afferent nerve signaling or heightened sympathetic activation.
摘要:
Systems, devices, and methods for treating a patient having a sympathetically mediated disease associated at least in part with augmented peripheral chemoreflex or heightened sympathetic activation. The treatments include ablating one or more peripheral chemoreceptors or associated afferent nerves to reduce or remove afferent neural signals from the peripheral chemoreceptor.
