Abstract: A catheter system comprises an elongate catheter body including a distal end, a cannulation lumen extending through the catheter body and terminating at the distal end of the catheter body, and a steering element extending through the catheter body for steering the distal end. The catheter system also comprises an imaging element secured to a distal end portion of the catheter body and configured to obtain optical images of an area located distally of the distal end of the catheter body. The catheter body includes a ridge extending axially along an outer surface of the distal end portion, wherein a width of the ridge measured about a circumference of the catheter body is less than a length of the ridge measured along the longitudinal axis, and the imaging element is radially aligned with the ridge with at least a portion of the imaging element disposed within the ridge.

Abstract: An apparatus for imaging a body structure within a body cavity includes a catheter including proximal and distal ends, an imaging element on the distal end, and an extension extending distally from the distal end for contacting a surface of a body cavity into which the catheter is introduced. The extension has a length to maintain the optical imaging element away from the surface. Optionally, a transparent member, e.g., an expandable balloon, may be attached to the distal end of the tubular member and the extension to isolate the imaging element from contact with fluid within the body cavity. During use, the catheter is inserted into a chamber of a beating heart, and the extension and/or balloon is placed against the wall of the chamber. Sufficient force is applied to stabilize the imaging element relative to the wall while the heart is beating.

Abstract: A system for delivering a lead comprises an imaging device comprising a proximal end and an expandable distal end having an inner balloon and an outer balloon. The outer balloon is concentric with the inner balloon. The expandable distal end includes a channel defined between the inner balloon and the outer balloon. The imaging device further comprises a lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends and an imaging assembly for imaging through the expandable distal end. The system further comprises an elongate rail comprising a proximal end and a distal end positionable through the lumen of the imaging device and the channel. The elongate rail comprises a fixation element on the distal end. The system also comprises a lead comprising a proximal end, a distal end introduced through the lumen of the imaging device guided by the elongated rail, and one or more electrodes on the distal end.
