Abstract: This relates to treating reversible chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and more particularly, to exchanging energy with airway tissue such as that found in human lungs. This exchange of energy reduces the ability of the airways to constrict, reduces the resistance within the airway to the flow of air through the airway, reduces mucus plugging of the airways, and/or increases the airway diameter. This energy exchange also may reduce the ability of the lung to produce at least one of the symptoms of reversible obstructive pulmonary disease.

Abstract: An energy delivery device may include an elongate member having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a lumen extending therebetween. The device may include a deployment member extending through the lumen toward a distal tip of the energy delivery device, and an expandable basket having a plurality of curved electrode legs. Each of the curved electrode legs may have a first end coupled to the distal portion of the elongate member and a second end coupled to the deployment member, and each of the plurality of curved electrode legs may have at least one energy insulated region and one energy active region. The device also may include at least one temperature sensing element coupled to said expandable basket.
