SYSTEM AND KIT TREATING TISSUE WITH RADIO FREQUENCY VASCULARELECTRODE ARRAY

摘要

Systems and kits for treating targeted tissue adjacent a physiological vascular network (e.g., one that carries blood) contoured to the general shape and si ze of the targeted tissue is provided. The systems and kits comprise a source of electrically conductive embolic material and a source of electrical energy. The embolic material is configured for embolizing in a region of the vascular network to form a vascular electrode array that assumes a geometry of the embolized region of the vascular networ k. The system may comprise a delivery catheter configured for delivering for delivering the embolic material within the vascular network to form the vascular electrode array, a nd further configured for applying electrical energy to the vascular electrode array to therapeutically conduct electrical energy into a region of the targeted tissue adjacent the embolized region of the vascular network. The kit comprises a separate delivery probe and tissue ablation probe for performing these functions.
