Systems for treating a mucosal surface of an alimentary canal tissue
region are provided. The systems can include an elongate support
structure, an expandable member positionable at a distal portion of the
support structure and one or more radio frequency (RF) ablation
electrodes carried by the expandable member. The elongate support
structure and the expandable member can be adapted to place the one or
more electrodes in contact with a mucosal surface of an alimentary canal
tissue region. The system can further include an RF energy source
connected to the one or more electrodes.
