Methods, medical systems, and devices for delivering platelet rich plasma, stem cells, exosomes or other extracellular vesicles, growth factors, neuregulins, hormones, extracellular matrix tissue or microvascular tissue fragments allograft, autograft, or xenograft, anti-inflammatories, steroids, and/or other whole, sectioned, particulated, micronized, or otherwise manipulated substances naturally occurring or synthetic that produce, promote, or enhance angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, promote healing, and/or otherwise reverse neuropathies or improve function of underlying tissues.

Methods and devices for treating neuropathies in cardiac tissue

Methods and devices described herein facilitate improved treatment of body organs.

Ablation devices and methods of use

Methods and devices described herein facilitate diaphragm entry for posterior access of body organs.

Diaphragm entry for posterior surgical access

Methods for using a surgical device integrating a suction mechanism with a coagulation mechanism for improving lesion creation capabilities. The device comprises an elongate member having an insulative covering attached about means for coagulating soft tissue with at least one diagnostic element coupled to an energy transfer element of the device. Openings through the covering expose regions of the coagulation-causing elements and are coupled to lumens in the elongate member which are routed to a vacuum source and a fluid source to passively transport fluid along the contacted soft tissue surface in order to push the maximum temperature deeper into tissue.

Vacuum coagulation probes

Methods and devices described herein facilitate ablation patterns on the heart within a pericardial sac and without opening or deflating the lungs.

Subxyphoid epicardial ablation

A surgical device integrating a suction mechanism with a coagulation mechanism is provided for improving lesion creation capabilities. The device comprises an elongate member having an insulative covering attached about means for coagulating soft tissue. Openings through the covering expose regions of the coagulation-causing elements and are coupled to lumens in the elongate member which are routed to a vacuum source. A fluid source to passively transport fluid along the contacted soft tissue surface may be provided in order to push the maximum temperature deeper into tissue.

Methods and devices are disclosed herein for therapeutically treating atrial tissue to lessen the effects of mechanical stress on atrial tissue, where reducing mechanical stress in the portion of atrial tissue reduces formation of at least one arrhythmia substrate. In one example, the devices and methods are suitable for minimally invasive surgery. More particularly, methods and devices described herein permit creating an ablation pattern on an organ while reducing excessive trauma to a patient.

Methods to prevent stress remodeling of atrial tissue

Methods for using a surgical device integrating a suction mechanism with a coagulation mechanism for improving lesion creation capabilities. The device comprises an elongate member having an insulative covering attached about means for coagulating soft tissue. Openings through the covering expose regions of the coagulation-causing elements and are coupled to lumens in the elongate member which are routed to a vacuum source and a fluid source to passively transport fluid along the contacted soft tissue surface in order to push the maximum temperature deeper into tissue.
