Abstract
The present invention provides a method of treating or alleviating erectile dysfunction in a patient. Multiple electrodes are placed within a segment of the internal iliac artery of the patient and against blood vessel wall of the internal iliac artery. Radiofrequency energy is released through at least one of the multiple electrodes to nearby tissues, so as to increase the temperature of the nearby tissues and induce a thermal alteration of the nearby tissues.
