A method for performing a medical procedure in an intestine of a patient is provided. The method comprises providing a system comprising: a catheter for insertion into the intestine, the catheter comprising: an elongate shaft comprising a distal portion; and a functional assembly positioned on the shaft distal portion and comprising at least one treatment element. The catheter is introduced into the patient, and target tissue is treated with the at least one treatment element. The target tissue comprises mucosal tissue of the small intestine, and the medical procedure can be configured to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Systems and methods for perfusing a treatment solution into the blood stream of particular organs while isolating those organs from the systemic vasculature as a whole. By deploying both collection and supply catheters, some having balloons on their distal ends, to particular locations within the body, various organs can be isolated so that the treatment solution can be delivered directly thereto. By isolating the organs, any side effects that may occur from a systemic introduction of the treatment solution are avoided. The method may be used to isolate not just organs, but specific tumors within certain organs for oncology treatment.
