Abstract

Minimally invasive apparatus and method for treating medical conditions of hollow anatomical structures. The treatment apparatus and method provide for delivery of energy from an expander member having conductive regions to the interior surface of the hollow anatomical structure in contact with the underlying glands, nerves, and muscle walls of the structure.
