Abstract
An electrode assembly includes an electrode pair including a first electrode and a second electrode configured to be selectively energized for delivery of electroporation therapy. The electrode assembly also includes an expandable isolation member disposed axially between the first electrode and the second electrode. One of the first electrode and the second electrode is positioned proximally of a proximal end of the expandable isolation member and the other of the first electrode and the second electrode is positioned distal to a distal end of the expandable isolation member. The expandable isolation member is configurable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The expandable isolation member includes a circumferential sealing surface configured for sealing engagement with tissue of a patient such that the expandable isolation member inhibits fluid and electrical communication between the first electrode and the second electrode when engaged with the tissue.
