Medical devices for the identification and treatment of bodily passages

A medical device comprising:

• an elongate member having an elongate member proximal end, an elongate member distal end, and defining a first lumen and a second lumen;
• a handle disposed on the elongate member and having an actuator moveable between an actuator first position and an actuator second position, the actuator having a first portion and a second portion;
• a wire member having a wire member first end attached to the first portion of the actuator and a wire member second end disposed within the first lumen and attached to the elongate member;
• and
• a cannula having a cannula proximal end attached to the second portion of the actuator and a cannula distal end disposed within the second lumen, the cannula moveable between a cannula first position when the actuator is in the actuator first position and a cannula second position when the actuator is in the actuator second position, in the cannula first position the cannula distal end is disposed at a first location, in the cannula second position the cannula distal end is disposed at a second location that is proximal to the first location;
• wherein the elongate member is moveable between a substantially straight configuration when the actuator is in the actuator first position and a curved configuration when the actuator is in the actuator second position;
• and
• wherein the cannula is formed of a substantially rigid material.

A method of treating tissue in a bodily passage wall defining a bodily passage, the method comprising the steps of:

• introducing a first medical device having a first proximal end and a first distal end into said bodily passage such that the first distal end is disposed within the bodily passage, the first medical device comprising:
• an elongate member having an elongate member proximal end, an elongate member distal end, and defining a first lumen and a second lumen, the elongate member movable between a substantially straight configuration and a curved configuration;
• a handle disposed on the elongate member and having an actuator moveable between an actuator first position and an actuator second position, the actuator having a first portion and a second portion, in the actuator first position the elongate member is in the substantially straight configuration, in the actuator second position the elongate member is in the curved configuration;
• a wire member having a wire member first end attached to the first portion of the actuator and a wire member second end attached to the elongate member;
• and
• a cannula having a cannula proximal end attached to the second portion of the actuator, a cannula distal end disposed within the second lumen, and defining a cannula lumen, the cannula moveable between a cannula first position when the actuator is in the actuator first position and a cannula second position when the actuator is in the actuator second position, in the cannula first position the cannula distal end is disposed at a first location within the second lumen, in the cannula second position the cannula distal end is disposed at a second location within the second lumen that is proximal to the first location;
• advancing the first medical device into said bodily passage;
• advancing the actuator from the actuator first position to the actuator second position such that the cannula moves from the cannula first position to the cannula second position and the elongate member moves from the substantially straight configuration to the curved configuration;
• introducing a second medical device having a second proximal end and a second distal end into the cannula lumen such that the second distal end is disposed with the cannula lumen;
• advancing the second medical device through the cannula lumen such that the second distal end is disposed distal to the first distal end;
• providing treatment using the second medical device;
• stopping the step of providing treatment using the second medical device;
• withdrawing the second medical device from the cannula lumen such that the second distal end is disposed proximal to the first proximal end;
• withdrawing the first distal end from the opening defined by the bodily passage wall;
• and
• withdrawing the first medical device from the bodily passage such that the first distal end is disposed outside of the bodily passage.
