AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current denervation procedures lack effective methods for assessing the progress and efficacy of the therapy, making it difficult for clinicians to determine the optimal duration and effectiveness of the treatment.
Method used
A system and method that involve applying nerve denervation therapy to a blood vessel wall, monitoring tissue impedance, calculating a linearly scaled impedance value, determining when this value exceeds a threshold, and ending the therapy, while also displaying an indication of therapy efficacy on a user interface.
Benefits of technology
This approach allows for real-time monitoring and feedback on the efficacy of the denervation therapy, enabling clinicians to adjust the treatment accordingly and ensuring that the therapy is completed effectively.
