Abstract: A catheter for ablating target tissue from a location within a body vessel includes an ablation region that is configured to transition from a first substantially straight configuration to a second configuration having a two-dimensional or three-dimensional shape. The ablation region may include a plurality of ablation elements that may be distributed along a length of the ablation region such that when the ablation region is in the second configuration, the ablation elements may be placed in closer proximity to the target tissue. Additionally, when the ablation region is in the second configuration, the ablation elements may achieve circumferential coverage of the body lumen or blood vessel, and as such, may be capable of ablating the target tissue at multiple locations along the length and around a circumference of the body lumen or vessel in a single step.

Abstract: Medical devices and methods for making and using medical devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include an ablative catheter system including an elongate member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending there between. An end-effector may be disposed at the distal end of the elongate member. The end-effector may include an expandable frame. A membrane may be supported on the frame. The membrane may be configured to partially occlude fluid flow upon frame expansion. One or more electrodes may be placed on the end-effector. The system may also include a control member that is configured to shift the end-effector between a collapsed state and the frame expansion state.
