Abstract
A treatment system for occluding a hollow anatomical structure comprises a treatment device sized for insertion into a hollow anatomical structure. The treatment device comprises a therapeutic element configured to treat the hollow anatomical structure. The system comprises a sensor configured to sense a first treatment parameter. A controller is in communication with the treatment device and with the sensor. The controller is configured to determine a second treatment parameter based on the first treatment parameter and output the second treatment parameter.
Claims34
A treatment system for occluding a hollow anatomical structure, comprising:
- a treatment device sized for insertion into a hollow anatomical structure, the treatment device comprising a therapeutic element configured to treat the hollow anatomical structure;
- a sensor configured to sense a first treatment parameter;
- and
- a controller in communication with the treatment device and with the sensor, the controller configured to determine a second treatment parameter based on the first treatment parameter and output the second treatment parameter.
A method of treating a hollow anatomical structure, comprising:
- providing a treatment system comprising a catheter having a therapeutic element, a sensor, and a controller in communication with the sensor and the catheter;
- sensing a first treatment parameter with the sensor;
- determining a second treatment parameter based on the first treatment parameter with the controller.
A method of treating a hollow anatomical structure, comprising:
- providing a treatment device sized for insertion into a hollow anatomical structure having a therapeutic element, a sensor, and a controller in communication with the treatment device and with the sensor;
- sensing a first parameter;
- calculating a thermal injury value based on the sensing of the first parameter;
- comparing the thermal injury value to one or more acceptable thermal injury values;
- determining a second treatment parameter;
- and
- outputting the second treatment parameter to safely and efficaciously treat the hollow anatomical structure.
