摘要：
An Imaging, guidance, planning and treatment system integrated into a single unit or assembly of components, and a method for using same, that can be safely and effectively deployed to treat re-stenosis from m intra- vascular location in various medical settings, including in a hospital or in an outpatient setting. The system utilizes the novel process of Radio-Frequency Electrical Membrane Breakdown ("EMB" or "RFEMB") to destroy the cellular membranes of unwanted tissue without denaturing the intra-cellular contents of the cells comprising the tissue, thus preventing or alleviating re-stenosis after an angioplasty-type procedure. The system preferably comprises at least one EMB treatment catheter-type probe 20, at least one temperature sensor 7, and at least one controller unit for at least partially automating the treatment process.
