Abstract
A system for performing mapping and ablation functions includes a catheter sized and shaped for vascular access. The catheter includes an elongate body extending between a proximal end and a distal end and having at least one inner fluid lumen. The catheter further includes a tip section positioned proximate to the distal end of the body. The tip section includes a proximal portion and a distal portion. The distal portion can have a distal end that can be substantially planar. The system also includes one or more electrode structures exposed at the tip section such that the one or more electrode structures disposed proximate the substantially planar distal end of the tip section.
