摘要：
Methods are describe for treating intraluminal locations such as in a patient'slung. The device is a catheter which has an elongated shaft with an inner lumen,preferably defined by an inner tubular member, formed of heat resistant polymericmaterials such as polyimide and high temperature vapor is directed through theinner lumen into the intraluminal location to treat tissue at and/or distal tothe location. The outer surface of the catheter is also formed of heat resistantmaterial. An enlarged or enlargeable member, such as a balloon, is provided ona distal portion of the catheter shaft to prevent proximal flow of the high temperaturevapor upon discharge from the catheter.
