    Abstract: Balloon catheters having a tapered balloon design and methods for manufacturing tapered balloons. An illustrative method for forming a tapered balloon for use in a medical device may comprise forming a balloon tube, the balloon tube may be formed from a first material and a second material different from the first material, positioning the balloon tube within a balloon mold, and blow molding the tapered balloon tube within the balloon mold to form a balloon.

    Abstract: A catheter system (100) for treating a treatment site (106) within or adjacent to the vessel wall of a blood vessel (108), or the heart valve, includes an energy source (124), a balloon (104), an energy guide (122A), and a balloon integrity protection system (142). The energy source (124) generates energy. The balloon (104) is positionable substantially adjacent to the treatment site (106). The balloon (104) has a balloon wall (130) that defines a balloon interior (146). The balloon (104) is configured to retain a balloon fluid (132) within the balloon interior (146). The energy guide (122A) is configured to receive energy from the energy source (124) and guide the energy into the balloon interior (146) so that plasma is formed in the balloon fluid (132) within the balloon interior (146). The balloon integrity protection system (142) is operatively coupled to the balloon (104). The balloon integrity protection system (142) is configured to inhibit rupture of the balloon (104) due to the plasma formed in the balloon fluid (132) within the balloon interior (146) during use of the catheter system (100).

    Abstract: Medical devices for renal nerve ablation are disclosed. An example medical device for renal nerve ablation may include a catheter shaft having a distal region. The device may include an expandable member coupled to the distal region, a flexible circuit assembly coupled to the expandable member, and a pressure sensor disposed along the expandable member and positioned adjacent to the flexible circuit assembly. The flexible circuit assembly may include one or more pairs of bipolar electrodes and a temperature sensor.
