Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of tissue mapping and ablation. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to expandable medical devices for identifying and treating local anatomical abnormalities within a body lumen. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods of focal treatment for overactive bladders.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 200,161, filed August 3, 2015, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of tissue mapping and ablation. In particular, the present disclosure relates to expandable medical devices for identifying and treating local anatomical abnormalities in body lumens including the bladder. Background technique [0004] Overactive bladder is a medical condition that affects 50 million people in the United States. Individuals with overactive bladder typically experience increased urge and frequency to urinate, and occasional urinary incontinence. Overactive bladder may result from increased triggering of sensitive pathways involved in normal bladder control. It has been suggested that abnormal bladder activity may result from morphological changes in one...
