Abstract
A method of treating epistaxis includes inserting a distal end of an endoscope into a nasal cavity of a patient. At least the distal end of the endoscope includes a working channel. The method includes advancing a distal end of an RF ablation catheter through the working channel of the endoscope. The method also includes ablating tissue in a posterior nasal region of the nasal cavity using RF energy transmitted by the RF ablation catheter.
