    Abstract: The present invention seeks to provide an implant configured to utilize at least two different scar-generating mechanisms that are generated in sequential or overlapping stages. For example, in one embodiment the present invention provides an expandable device that can be positioned at a desired target location within a patient to generate mechanical ablation damage. After a predetermined amount of mechanical ablation has occurred, additional ablation damage is generated by a different source, such as energy delivery, drug delivery, or inflammatory material delivery. In this respect, the overall ablation scarring can be better controlled by utilizing the ablation techniques that are most appropriate at specific phases of a technique or locations within a patient.

    Abstract translation: 本发明寻求提供一种被配置为利用在连续或重叠阶段中产生的至少两种不同的瘢痕产生机制的植入物。 例如,在一个实施例中,本发明提供了一种可扩张装置,其可以定位在患者内的期望的目标位置以产生机械消融损伤。 在发生预定量的机械消融之后,通过不同的来源产生额外的消融损伤,例如能量递送,药物递送或炎性物质递送。 在这方面,可以通过利用在技术的特定阶段或患者内的位置最适合的消融技术来更好地控制整体消融瘢痕形成。
