Abstract: Medical devices and methods for using medical devices are disclosed. An example medical device includes a catheter having a proximal end region and a distal tip and an array of sealed chambers disposed along the distal tip, wherein each of the chambers includes a distal membrane disposed along an outer surface of the distal tip and a proximal membrane extending radially inward from the outer surface. Further, each proximal membrane is configured to shift between a first position and an expanded position in response to a change in pressure within the chamber.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing ablation are disclosed. An example system for performing ablation on a tissue includes a catheter having at least one lumen in which a first optical fiber configured to carry a first light beam is disposed and a second optical fiber configured to carry a second light beam is disposed, and a processor being configured to measure a volume of blood within the target site of the tissue using a blood perfusion sensor, determine that the volume of blood within the target site is below a predetermined threshold based on one or more characteristics detected by the blood perfusion sensor, each characteristic being associated with at least one of the first light beam and the second light beam, and perform the ablation on the target site of the tissue when the volume of blood within the target site is below the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A system for transluminal delivery of cardiac repair components into a heart includes a visualization catheter having an imaging device disposed at a distal end. An anchor lumen extends through the visualization catheter to an anchor port disposed on its distal wall. An adjustment mechanism is translatably disposed within the visualization catheter and configured to adjust a height of the anchor port relative to a septum of the heart. The imaging device may be used to visualize the placement of anchors expelled from the port into a tissue target. The adjustment mechanism enables accurate placement of multiple anchors along a consistent axis within the heart by rotating the visualization catheter to align the port with different tissue targets. The anchors may be coupled to sutures and the tissue targets may include papillary muscles that are reconfigured by pulling together and securing the sutures to approximate a healthy papillary structure.
