Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Methods and apparatus for generating vapor within a catheter are provided which may include any number of features. One feature is generating vapor with a fiber optic, laser fiber optic, or fiber optic bundle within a catheter. Another feature is sensing a temperature of the fiber optic, and adjusting the power delivered to the electrode array to fully generate vapor within the catheter. Another feature is delivering the vapor to a vein of a patient for vein reduction therapy.
