A theoretical model of the application of RF energy to the airway wall and its experimental validation
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Bronchial thermoplasty is a novel technique designed to reduce an airway's ability to contract by reducing the amount of airway smooth muscle through controlled heating of the airway wall. This method has been examined in animal...
