Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods for treating pulmonary conditions, such as COPD and asthma, by denervating bronchial tissue using cryoablation. In one embodiment, a device for bronchial denervation comprises: an elongate body having a 5 distal portion and a proximal portion opposite the distal portion; a treatment element at the distal portion of the elongate body; and a first recording electrode located distal to the treatment element and a second recording electrode located proximal to the treatment element, the first and second recording electrodes being configured to record electromyograms.In one embodiment, the device includes a fluid delivery element that is within the treatment element and that has a plurality of orifices aligned with an equatorial portion of the treatment element.

Description

technical field [0001] The present technology generally relates to devices, systems, and methods for treating pulmonary conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, by denervating bronchial tissue using cryoablation. Background technique [0002] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes airflow obstruction in the lungs, and the term is also used to refer to a range of lung conditions such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death and approximately one-third of all health-related costs are associated with the condition. Asthma is considered a risk factor for developing COPD, and patients with COPD are more likely to develop heart disease, lung cancer, and other conditions. Studies have shown that COPD leads to epithelial metaplasia, mucous metaplasia, fibrosis, increased smooth muscle mass, and other conditions that contribute to airway obstruction in a...
