Abstract
A method of treating tissue including displaying a path to a point of interest within a luminal network, navigating a locatable guide to the point of interest following the displayed path, and deploying one or more fiducial markers proximate the point of interest. The method also including percutaneously inserting a microwave ablation device into the point of interest and ablating the tissue at the point of interest.
Claims22
A method of treating tissue comprising:
- displaying a path to a point of interest within a luminal network;
- navigating a locatable guide to the point of interest following the displayed path;
- deploying one or more fiducial markers proximate the point of interest;
- percutaneously inserting a microwave ablation device into the point of interest;
- and
- ablating the tissue at the point of interest.
3 more elements
A method of treating tissue, comprising:
- supplying microwave energy to a microwave ablation device;
- radiating microwave energy into tissue to treat the tissue;
- cooling the microwave ablation device while the microwave ablation device is radiating microwave energy into the tissue;
- and
- sensing a temperature of the tissue surrounding the microwave ablation device while the microwave ablation device is radiating microwave energy into tissue.
