Abstract
The instant disclosure relates to electrophysiology catheters for tissue ablation. In particular, the instant disclosure relates to a cryogenic ablation balloon with safety features that facilitate identification of a leak into an interstitial space between inner and outer balloons as part of the ablation balloon catheter assembly, and prevents egress of cryogenic fluid out of the ablation balloon.
