    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.

    Abstract: A device, system, and method for optically evaluating and treating or ablating tissue. Specifically, device, system, and method allow for the optical and/or electrical evaluation of tissue at the same location(s) at which ablation or treatment or ablation energy is delivered. This allows for a more accurate evaluation of lesion formation and tissue condition before, during, and/or after a treatment or ablation procedure. In one embodiment, a device for performing a medical procedure includes an elongate body including a proximal portion, a distal portion having a distal end, and a longitudinal axis, and a distal tip electrode at the elongate body distal end, the tip electrode being optically transparent and electrically conductive. The device may also include optical windows in the elongate body aligned with one or more transparent lateral electrodes for optically interrogating tissue and/or for delivering treatment or ablation energy to tissue.
