Publication number: 20250312094Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for transvascular ablation of target tissue. The devices and methods are for splanchnic nerve ablation to increase splanchnic venous blood capacitance to treat at least one of heart failure and hypertension. The devices are advanced endovascularly to a target vessel in the region of a thoracic splanchnic nerve (TSN), such as a greater splanchnic nerve (GSN) or a TSN nerve root. Also disclosed are methods of treating heart failure, such as HFpEF, by endovascularly ablating a thoracic splanchnic nerve to increase venous capacitance and reduce pulmonary blood pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2025Publication date: October 9, 2025Inventors: Anisha BAPNA, Zoar Jacob ENGELMAN, Howard LEVIN, Pajhand IRANITALAB, Casey Andrew MILLER, Thomas Ryan MCGRATH, Manuel Arzadon JAVIER, JR.
