1. A delivery device, comprising:

  • an ablation assembly includingan energy emitter assembly configured to output energy to ablate targeted tissue of a bronchial tree and through which a coolant is capable of flowing so as to cool a tissue-contacting portion of the energy emitter assembly;

    a deployable element movable from a collapsed state to an expanded state to bring the tissue-contacting portion of the energy emitter assembly into contact with an airway wall of the bronchial tree;

    a cooling section configured to contain the coolant and movable into contact with the airway wall so as to cool tissue adjacent to the tissue-contacting portion of the energy emitter assembly when energy is being outputted therefrom; and

    an elongate shaft coupled to the ablation assembly and through which the coolant is capable of flowing to the ablation assembly.
