Abstract
Combination catheters/stents includes matable female and male members which, when engaged, deliver the desired therapy, typically a thermal therapy, to the targeted tissue in the body. At the conclusion of the delivery of the therapy regimen, the female and male matable members disengage allowing one member (the stent portion) to remain in the body proximate the treatment site of the subject while the other member (primarily the catheter portion which with the stent portion allows delivery of desired treatment) can be removed from the body of the subject. The combination catheter/stent requires only a single insertion procedure reducing the trauma potentially introduced to tissue (either along the lumen or at the targeted treatment site) in the body. The treatment catheters and methods are particularly suitable for the treatment of BPH. Associated methods are also described.
