Image of the Nuvaira Console with the dNerva Catheter in bronchoscope and the expandable cooled balloon. a An image of the Nuvaira lung denervation system including the Nuvaira Console and dNerva Catheter. b The dNerva catheter is inserted through the working channel of a flexible bronchoscopes and inflated following positioning. Cooling fluid is circulated through the catheter by the console and provides the cooling that protects the airway wall during energy delivery (blue arrows indicate fluid flow). c During the procedure, the catheter is positioned in the mainstem bronchi and d visualization of the electrode positioning is confirmed by coupling the bronchoscope to the distal end of the catheter balloon
