Abstract

A method for local treatment of a target region of tissue within a body of a subject includes navigating a first probe (210, 310) intra-bodily to a first location within the body of the subject and employing the first probe to locally change at least one characteristic of a selected region of tissue. Either the same probe (210, 310) or another probe (250, 330) is employed to apply a treatment to the target region of the body of the subject. The changed characteristic of the selected region of tissue is chosen so as to enhance at least one parameter of the treatment.
