Abstract: Described here are devices, systems, and methods for applying pulsed or modulated electric fields to tissue. In some variations, a method of treating a target tissue may comprise advancing a pulsed electric field device and a visualization device to the target tissue of a patient. The pulsed electric field device may comprise an elongate body and an expandable member coupled to the elongate body. A suction catheter may be advanced from a lumen of the visualization device. Suction may be applied to the portion of the target tissue through the one or more fluid openings of the expandable member using the suction catheter. A pulsed waveform may be delivered to an electrode array of the pulsed electric field device to generate a pulsed or modulated electric field thereby treating the target tissue.

Abstract: Described here are devices, systems, and methods for applying pulsed or modulated electric fields to tissue. In some variations, a device may comprise a first elongate body comprising a lumen, a second elongate body at least partially positioned within the lumen, and an expandable member rolled about the second elongate body. The expandable member may comprise an inner end coupled to the second elongate body, an outer end coupled to the first elongate body, and an electrode array.

Abstract: Described here are devices, systems, and methods for applying pulsed or modulated electric fields to tissue. In some variations, a method of treating may comprise advancing a pulsed electric field device into a body cavity of a patient. The pulsed electric field device may comprise an elongate body and an expandable member coupled to the elongate body. The expandable member may comprise an electrode array. A pulsed waveform may be delivered to the electrode array to generate a pulsed or modulated electric field thereby treating tissue.

Abstract: Disclosed is a balloon catheter that can comprise an elongate support member, an inflation tube, a guidewire tube and a balloon. The guidewire tube can define a guidewire port at its proximal end, and can extend from the port through an opening in a wall of the elongate support member and distally through a first lumen of the elongate support member, in some cases to the distal end of the catheter. The inflation tube can be disposed over a distal portion of the elongate support member, a portion of the guidewire tube, a portion of the inner assembly, or any combination thereof, forming a second lumen. The distal end of the balloon can be attached to the guidewire tube and the proximal end of the balloon can be attached to the inflation tube. The inside of the balloon can be in fluid communication with the first lumen and with the second lumen, allowing the balloon to be inflated and/or deflated. The elongate support member can also have cuts in it.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a delivery system including a stent protector to protect an end of the stent and/or stent body for delivery of the stent to an intended fixation site or treatment site within a body lumen. More specifically, the present invention is directed to balloon catheter which protects the distal end, proximal end and/or body of a stent during delivery to the deployment site and/or shipping of a preloaded system.

Abstract: A balloon catheter having an improved balloon waist design in which material is removed prior to thermal processing. In one embodiment, a series of patterned voids are formed in the balloon waist to reduce the amount of polymeric material and to better control flowing polymeric material during thermal processing.
