Abstract: Methods of treating acute heart failure in a patient in need thereof. Methods include inserting a therapy delivery device into a pulmonary artery of the patient and applying a therapy signal to autonomic cardiopulmonary fibers surrounding the pulmonary artery. The therapy signal affects heart contractility more than heart rate. Specifically, the application of the therapy signal increases heart contractility and treats the acute heart failure in the patient. The therapy signal can include electrical or chemical modulation.

Abstract: Methods and systems of treating acute heart failure by applying a therapy signal at least one sympathetic cardiopulmonary fiber surrounding the pulmonary trunk that affects heart contractility more than heart rate. Methods and systems also include adjusting the signal to effectuate treatment.

Abstract: Method of treating hemodynamic derangement and controlling the mobilization of splanchnic circulation. The method comprises applying a therapy signal to a celiac ganglion, a celiac plexus, a splanchnic nerve, or any combination thereof and adjusting the signal to effectuate treatment. The present invention also provides methods of treating hemodynamic derangement and controlling the mobilization of splanchnic circulation by transluminal modulation of the celiac ganglion, the celiac plexus, the splanchnic nerve.

Abstract: A minimally invasive intraluminal electrode assembly that includes a cannulated tube and a plurality of wires disposed within the cannulated tube. Each of the plurality of wires has one of a plurality of electrical contacts on a distal end thereof. The distal portion of the plurality of wires assumes a radially constrained configuration within the cannulated tube in a retracted position and a radially extended position outward of the cannulated tube in a deployed position. The electrode assembly further comprises a spring electrode connecting the plurality of electrical contacts to collectively form a substantially circular configuration in a deployed position.
