Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments described herein relate to methods of using a catheter having a braided conductive member. One embodiment relates to a method for treating a condition of a patient that involves contacting an exterior wall of a blood vessel with the braided conductive member. Another embodiment relates to a method that involves contacting a wall of a blood vessel with the braided conductive member and controlling energy delivery to the braided conductive member based on at least one sensed temperature.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a condition of a patient, comprising acts of: introducing a portion of a catheter into a patient, the catheter having a braided conductive member at a distal end thereof; contacting an exterior wall surface of a blood vessel of a vasculature of the patient with the braided conductive member; and applying energy to the exterior wall surface via the braided conductive member with the distal end of the catheter including the braided co…
