Abstract
This invention relates to electrosurgical systems and techniques for applying ohmic heating to tissue, and for shrinking a dimension across a tissue surface. More particularly, the invention provides a tissue-conforming tape or patch member for conforming to and adhering to the surface of a targeted body structure. The tape or patch can be coupled to an electrical source to thereby apply Rf energy to a conductive engagement portion of the conforming member. The conforming member can be used to controllably cause ohmic heating in the engaged tissue to shrink, coagulate, ablate or create lesions in the body structure.
