Abstract: In one example, a system includes a deployment catheter defining at least one lumen therethrough. The system further includes a balloon member projecting distally from a distal end of the deployment catheter and defining an area therein, wherein the area is in fluid communication with the at least one lumen. The system further includes a first opening at the distal end of the balloon member, a first instrument lumen extending through the balloon member from the distal end of the deployment catheter to the first opening, and a visualization element disposed within the balloon member for visualizing tissue external to the balloon member.
