Abstract:
A medical device is configured to deliver pulsed electric field (PEF) energy to tissue and includes an elongated shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion. A balloon is coupled to the distal portion of the elongated shaft. A plurality of electrodes is disposed on an outer surface of the balloon and configured to apply PEF energy to tissue. The balloon defines one or more irrigation channels proximate to or on the plurality of electrodes, the one or more irrigation channels being configured to irrigate at least one of the plurality of electrodes.
