Abstract: A device and method is disclosed for creating a lesion in tissue in a vicinity of a bronchus that contains nerve trunks, thereby thermally damaging the nerve trunks, while protecting the bronchus from injury. A catheter carrying a microwave antenna is positioned within the bronchus. Cooling fluid is circulated around the microwave antenna in thermal contact with the mucosa wall of the bronchus. Power is supplied to the microwave antenna to cause microwave energy to be emitted from the microwave antenna. The power supplied to the microwave antenna and the cooling fluid circulated around the microwave antenna are controlled to cause nerve trunks in the tissue in the vicinity of the bronchus to be heated to a temperature sufficient to cause thermal damage while the mucosa wall is maintained at a temperature where thermal damage does not occur.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to implantable medical systems that can include a first implantable device, a second implantable device, and a communication assembly that extends between and physically couples the first device and the second device. The first device can include one or more first electronic components, and the second device can include one or more second electronic components. The communication assembly can include (a) one or more first wires that are configured to wirelessly receive data from, and/or wirelessly transmit data to, a third device positioned external to the patient, and (b) one or more second wires that are configured to conductively transfer power between the first electronic components and the second electronic components. In some embodiments, the one or more first wires have a helical configuration, and the one or more second wires have a linear configuration and extend within the one or more first wires.

Abstract: A device and method is disclosed for creating a lesion in adventitia tissue of a renal artery and/or a region of tissue surrounding the adventitia tissue while protecting intima and media tissue of the renal artery from injury. A catheter carrying a microwave antenna is positioned within the renal artery. Cooling fluid is circulated around the microwave antenna in thermal contact with the intima of the renal artery. Power is supplied to the microwave antenna to cause microwave energy to be emitted omnidirectionally from the microwave antenna. The power supplied to the microwave antenna and the cooling fluid circulated around the microwave antenna are controlled to cause the adventitia tissue and/or the region of tissue surrounding the adventitia tissue to be heated to a temperature sufficient to cause thermal damage while the intima and media tissue are maintained at a temperature where thermal damage does not occur.
