Zusammenfassung:	Minimally invasive apparatus and method for treating medical conditions of hollow anatomical structures. The treatment apparatus and method provide for delivery of energy from an expandable member having conductive regions with pointed contact electrodes, to the interior surface of the hollow anatomical structure in contact with the underlying glands, nerves, and muscle walls of the structure. Appareil mini-invasif et méthode de traitement d'états pathologiques de structures anatomiques creuses. L'appareil de traitement et la méthode de l'invention permettent d'envoyer de l'énergie d'un élément expansible possédant des régions conductrices dotées d'électrodes de contact pointues, dans la surface intérieure d'une structure anatomique creuse en contact avec les glandes, nerfs et parois musculaires sous-jacents de la structure.
