摘要：
A method of delivering therapy to a treatment volume of a vein of a patient includes inserting a vapor delivery shaft into the vein at an entry location. The vein is fluidly coupled with other veins in a venous vasculature of the patient. The method also includes applying a compressive force to tissue surrounding the venous vasculature to compress and at least partially occlude the venous vasculature at an occlusion location other than the entry location. A treatment volume is formed between the entry location and the occlusion location. The method further includes delivering vapor to the vein through the vapor delivery shaft into the treatment volume.
