Abstract
The present disclosure provides electroporation catheters that are capable of forming a loop, generally a circular loop, an oval loop, or like in shape, located on the distal end portion of a catheter shaft within the vasculature of an individual. The electroporation catheters of the present disclosure may be delivered into the vasculature of the individual in a straight conformation and allow for the formation of the loop once positioned in the desired location. Some embodiments of the present disclosure include an electroporation catheter that includes a loop member pull wire in a spiral or helical configuration on an inside surface of the distal end portion of the catheter shaft.
