Abstract
A medical device assembly for carrying out a cardiac procedure includes an ultrasound catheter having an elongate shaft including an ultrasound tip configured to emit ultrasound signals and receive reflected ultrasound signals. The assembly includes a sheath having an elongate member including a proximal portion, a distal portion having a distal end, a central portion between the proximal portion and the distal portion, and a catch for engaging the shaft of the ultrasound catheter. The central portion defines a longitudinal axis of the elongate member. The distal portion includes a curved section that spaces the distal end away from the longitudinal axis. The catch is configured to engage the shaft of the ultrasound catheter such that the shaft extends longitudinally along the central portion and the ultrasound tip is spaced longitudinally from the elongate member distal end.
