A method of imaging a tissue region may comprise visualizing one or more lesions in vivo over a tissue region within a body through an imaging catheter. The method may further comprise measuring a temperature or an electrical potential of the one or more lesions. The method may further comprise overlaying a gradient indicative of the temperature or the electrical potential upon a visual image of the one or more lesions captured in vivo. The method may further comprise registering ablation parameters to the visual image of the one or more lesions and displaying the visual image with the overlaid gradient and the registered ablation parameters.

Ablation and imaging catheter with user interface to catalogue ablation parameters and identification labels for lesions

A medical manipulation assembly comprises a sheath steerable in response to rotational movement of a sheath steering mechanism. The assembly also comprises a catheter extendable through the sheath. The catheter is steerable in response to rotational movement of a catheter steering mechanism. The sheath and catheter are independently steerable. The assembly also comprises a set of control wires. At least one of the sheath or the catheter includes a plurality of lumens with at least two of the plurality of lumens each sized for passage of one of the control wires of the set of control wires. The steerable catheter includes a working channel sized to receive a visualization instrument therethrough.

Complex shape steerable tissue visualization and manipulation catheter

A system includes a deployment catheter having a lumen, a delivery sheath configured for positioning within the lumen of the deployment catheter, and a first measurement instrument configured for positioning within the delivery sheath. The first measurement instrument includes a plurality of expandable members each having a known diameter in an expanded state. The first measurement instrument is configured to determine a diameter of an anatomical lumen based on the known diameter of a most proximal expandable member that fits within the anatomical lumen.
