CONTROLLED SYMPATHECTOMY AND MICRO-ABLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A microsurgical tool monitors electrophysiological activity within the vicinity of a lumen and comprises a microfinger, a sensing tip and a microcircuit. The microfinger has a substantially elongate structure biasing a region thereof against a wall of the lumen upon deployment therein. The sensing tip is electrically and mechanically coupled to the microfinger in the vicinity of the region, configured to interface with the wall of the lumen. The sensing tip measures electrophysiological activity within the vicinity of the lumen and conveys, to an extracorporeal system, one or more electrophysiological signals associated with the rneasured physiological activity in a given region of the lumen corresponding to a location where the sensing tip interfaces with the wall of the lumen. The microcircuit, embedded into the substantially elongate structure, is electrically coupled to the sensing tip and positioned to condition the electrophysiological signals prior to conveyance to the extracorporeal system.
