ENDOVASCULAR CATHETERS AND METHODS FOR CAROTID BODY ABLATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An ablation method for ablating target tissue within a carotid septum of a patient, the method comprising:
- endovascularly positioning a distal region of an ablation catheter proximate a carotid septum;
deploying an ablation element from a delivery position within an ablation catheter shaft to an ablation position outside of the catheter shaft, and into a carotid septum; and
delivering an ablation agent through the ablation element and into the carotid septum, to ablate tissue within the carotid septum and treat at least one of hypertension and heart failure.

Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for treating a patient having a sympathetically mediated disease associated at least in part with augmented peripheral chemoreflex or heightened sympathetic activation. The treatments include ablating one or more peripheral chemoreceptors or associated afferent nerves to reduce or remove afferent neural signals from the peripheral chemoreceptor.
