Abstract
Devices and systems are described for lung nodules with heated condensable vapor. The device can have an elongated shaft coupled to a vapor generator. High temperature vapor can be directed through the shaft into the lung to treat the lung nodule. In some embodiments, the device comprises a needle configured to deliver the vapor to the lung nodules. An expandable member, such as a balloon, can be provided on a distal portion of the shaft to prevent proximal flow of the high temperature vapor upon discharge from the device. Methods of use are also provided.
