Publication number: 20230082399Abstract: Control systems and methods for delivery of energy that may include control algorithms that prevent energy delivery if a fault is detected and may provide energy delivery to produce a substantially constant temperature at a delivery site. In some embodiments, the control systems and methods may be used to control the delivery of energy, such as radiofrequency energy, to body tissue, such as lung tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Christopher J. DANEK, William J. WIZEMAN, Tim R. DALBEC, Gary S. KAPLAN

Publication number: 20100268222Abstract: Methods for treating a network of organs including generating a map of at least a portion of the network of organs using a rendering system; selecting at least one treatment location within the luminal passageway of the network of organs; and applying an energy therapy to the treatment location to treat the smooth muscle tissue, where the energy therapy applied to the respective treatment location is defined by a plurality of parameters that are associated with a map. Such a system allows for historical or ideal treatment parameters to be identified, visually or otherwise to actual treatment locations. Also, control systems and methods for delivery of energy that may include control algorithms that prevent energy delivery if a fault is detected and may provide energy delivery to produce a substantially constant temperature at a delivery site. In some embodiments, the control systems and methods may be used to control the delivery of energy, such as radiofrequency energy, to body tissue, such as lung tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2010Publication date: October 21, 2010Applicant: Asthmatx, Inc.Inventors: Christopher J.
