Claim:
1. An assembly for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease comprising: an elongated member including at least one electrode movable between a retracted position and an extended position, and an electrode control at a proximal end of the elongated member to remotely control movement of the electrode, the at least one electrode applying energy to tissue to heat tissue to form lesions at the lower esophageal sphincter to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease; a distal guide sheath overlying an external surface of the elongated member at a distal portion of the elongated member; an endoscope removably positioned adjacent the elongated member and radially spaced therefrom to extend external of the elongated member, the endoscope passing through an opening in the sheath so that the endoscope and elongated member are movable together, wherein steering of a distal end of the endoscope steers a distal end of the elongated member; and a basket assembly extending from the elongated member, the basket assembly including a plurality of arms, the arms movable from a collapsed condition having a collapsed outside diameter to an expanded position wherein the plurality of arms expand to an expanded outside diameter greater than the collapsed outside diameter.
