Publication number: 20120310233Abstract: Systems, delivery devices, and methods to treat to ablate, damage, or otherwise affect tissue. The treatment systems are capable of delivering a coolable ablation assembly that ablates targeted tissue without damaging non-targeted tissue. The coolable ablation assembly damages nerve tissue to temporarily or permanently decrease nervous system input. The system, delivery devices, and methods can damage tissue and manage scarring and stenosis.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2010Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: Innovative Pulmonary Solutions, IncInventors: Steven C. Dimmer, Martin L. Mayse, Mark Deem, Hanson S. Gifford, III

Patent number: 8226638Abstract: Systems, assemblies, and methods to treat pulmonary diseases are used to decrease nervous system input to distal regions of the bronchial tree within the lungs. Treatment systems damage nerve tissue to temporarily or permanently decrease nervous system input. The treatment systems are capable of heating nerve tissue, cooling the nerve tissue, delivering a flowable substance that cause trauma to the nerve tissue, puncturing the nerve tissue, tearing the nerve tissue, cutting the nerve tissue, applying pressure to the nerve tissue, applying ultrasound to the nerve tissue, applying ionizing radiation to the nerve tissue, disrupting cell membranes of nerve tissue with electrical energy, or delivering long acting nerve blocking chemicals to the nerve tissue.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2011Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Innovative Pulmonary Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Martin L. Mayse, Steven C. Dimmer

Publication number: 20110301587Abstract: An apparatus and method for pulmonary treatment by denervation is provided. The apparatus includes an elongate member configured for insertion into the trachea to a position adjacent a pulmonary plexus. The apparatus further includes at least one energy delivery element disposed on the elongate member. The energy delivery element is positionable to target at least one nerve in the tracheal wall when the elongate member is positioned in the trachea. Energy from the energy delivery element is delivered to the at least one nerve to treat pulmonary symptoms, conditions, and/or diseases, such as asthma, COPD, obstructive lung diseases, or other pulmonary diseases.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2011Publication date: December 8, 2011Applicant: Innovative Pulmonary Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Mark Deem, Vivek Shenoy, Martin L.
