Abstract
A balloon catheter system has a balloon extending in an axial direction and surrounding a balloon interior. The balloon has an outer side facing away from the balloon interior. A catheter is connected to the balloon and extending in the axial direction, the catheter having a lumen in fluid communication with the balloon interior. First and second annular electrodes are disposed on the outer side, each extending in a circumferential direction of the balloon and being located opposite one another in the axial direction. The electrodes are configured to measure one of more of strain of the balloon in the circumferential direction, strain of the balloon in the radial direction, an impedance of tissue of a patient resting against the electrodes, and a redox potential of tissue of the patient contacting at least one of the electrodes.
