    Abstract: A metallic tube arrangement includes an electrode region configured to expand radially and contract radially in response to increasing and decreasing a temperature at the electrode region, respectively. The electrode region is configured for intravascular deployment and delivery of high frequency energy to target tissue of a target vessel of the body. The electrode region is configured to expand radially to a diameter sufficient to contact an inner wall of the target vessel in response to a decrease in electrode region temperature and to contract radially to a diameter smaller than a diameter of the target vessel in response to an increase in electrode region temperature.

    Abstract: A catheter is disclosed including an elongated shaft having a distal end and a proximal end, where the catheter includes a thermal element at the distal end thereof. The thermal element may be used in an ablation procedure or other procedure to heat a tissue adjacent a vessel. The configuration of the distal end of the elongated shaft at or near the distal tip may encourage the cooling of or transferring of heat from the vessel wall. The configurations may include protrusions extending from and indentations extending into the shaft, which may manipulate the flow of fluid through a vessel in which the catheter has been inserted. Alternatively or additionally, a cap or thin insulative layer may be placed at or near the distal tip of the catheter shaft to cool the wall of the vessel.
