An inflation lumen extends along at least a portion of the proximal shaft section and at least a portion of the distal shaft section to a point proximal to a shaft distal end and is in fluid communication with the inflatable member interior chamber. The proximal shaft section has multiple non-concentric lumens with at least one lumen forming at least a portion of the guidewire receiving lumen and at least one lumen forming at least a portion of the inflation lumen.
