Balloon catheters and stent delivery systems including bifurcated stent delivery systems are disclosed. An example bifurcated stent delivery system may include an elongate shaft including a proximal section, a midshaft section, and a distal section. The proximal section may include a tubular member having a plurality of slots formed therein. The slots may be arranged in one or more sections having differing slot densities. The midshaft section may include a guidewire port in fluid communication with a guidewire lumen formed in the shaft. A main branch balloon may be coupled to the shaft. A side branch balloon may be disposed adjacent to the main branch balloon. A stent may be disposed on the main branch balloon and on the side branch balloon.

Apparatuses and methods facilitate delivery of optical or photoacoustic energy to innervated vascular that contributes to renal sympathetic nerve activity. The optical energy delivered may be of sufficient power to scan or image innervated renal or aortal tissue. The optical energy delivered may be of sufficient power to ablate innervated renal or aortal tissue, such as by thermal laser ablation or photoacoustic laser ablation. A catheter for intravascular or extravascular deployment supports an optical fiber arrangement comprising a coupling for receiving light from a laser light source. An optics arrangement is supported by the catheter and coupled to the optical fiber arrangement. The optics arrangement includes one or more optical elements arranged to receive the laser light and direct optical energy to target innervated tissue or a water source from which a cavitation bubble may be created and launched for acoustically shocking the target innervated tissue.

An implantable medical lead including a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and an electrical conductor electrically connected to the proximal end portion of the lead body. Also, the lead has at least one electrode connected to the distal end portion of the lead body and connected to the electrical conductor. The electrode includes a conductive base structure, a first set of pores formed on an outer surface of the conductive base structure, the first set of pores having an average first pore dimension of between about and about 1/100an electrode dimension, and a second set of pores formed on at least a portion of the first set of pores, the second set of pores having an average second pore dimension of between about and about 1/100average first pore dimension.

Systems for nerve and tissue modulation are disclosed. An example system may include an intravascular nerve modulation system including an elongated shaft having a proximal end region and a distal end region. The system may include an expandable frame having one or more electrodes positioned on or about the frame. An actuation assembly including a biasing element, a central shaft, and a piston may be configured to provide for controlled expansion of the expandable frame. The system may further include a control element for controlling the actuation assembly.

An implantable device delivered and deployed with a visualization and/or imaging system. An imaging element is positioned on a distal end of a flexible elongate member of the visualization/imaging system. The distal end with the imaging element is positioned adjacent the implant and/or the implant site, and moved relative to the longitudinal axis of the flexible elongate member to adjust the viewing field of the imaging device.

Medical devices and methods for making and using medical devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include an elongate shaft having a proximal end region and a distal end region. A first lumen may be defined in the shaft. A second lumen may be defined in the shaft. The distal end region may include a common lumen region in fluid communication with the first lumen and the second lumen. A deflectable member may be disposed within the shaft. The deflectable member may be designed to shift between a first configuration where the deflectable member directs a first medical device disposed within the common lumen region into the first lumen and a second configuration where the deflectable member allows a second medical device to move between the common lumen region and the second lumen.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for crossing a tissue region. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include a catheter and a tip section arranged therewith. The tip section may be configured to puncture the tissue region and create an opening therein, dilate the opening in the tissue region, and pass through the opening.

A method of preparing an electrode for use with an implantable medical device, the electrode including a titanium surface, the method including: maintaining a nitrogen gas environment proximate to the titanium surface, delivering energy to a portion of the titanium surface, modifying the portion of the titanium surface with the energy delivered to the titanium surface, and forming titanium nitride by reacting titanium at the portion of the titanium surface with nitrogen from the nitrogen gas environment. Modifying includes increasing a surface area of the portion of the titanium surface, and removing titanium from the portion of the titanium surface. The titanium nitride is formed at the portion of the titanium surface where titanium has been removed.
