Balloon catheter with deformable fluid delivery conduit

1. A medical device, comprising:

an elongate body having a proximal portion and a distal portion;

a shaft at least partially disposed within the elongate body;

an expandable element at the distal portion of the elongate body; and

a fluid delivery conduit defining a deflectable segment defining a proximal end and a distal end with the proximal end being slidably and rotatably coupled to the shaft and the distal end being immovably fixed to the shaft, the deflectable segment being transitionable from a linear configuration to a curvilinear configuration.

2. The medical device according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid delivery conduit defines an outer circumference, the medical device further comprising at least one opening helically arranged around the outer circumference of the fluid delivery conduit.

3. The medical device according to claim 1 , further comprising a cryogenic coolant source in fluid communication with the fluid delivery conduit.

4. The medical device according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft is movable with respect to the elongate body.

5. The medical device according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft defines a lumen therein for passage of a guide wire.

6. The medical device according to claim 1 , wherein the elongate body defines an exhaust lumen in fluid communication with an interior of the expandable element.

7. The medical device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first actuator coupled to the deflectable segment to adjust a longitudinal position of at least a portion of the deflectable segment.

8. The medical device according to claim 7 , further comprising a second actuator coupled to the deflectable segment to adjust a rotational position of at least a portion of the deflectable segment.

9. The medical device according to claim 1 , wherein the deflectable segment defines a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being at least one of slidably and rotatably coupled to the shaft.

10. A medical device, comprising:

an elongate body having a proximal portion and a distal portion;

a shaft at least partially disposed within the elongate body;

an expandable element at the distal portion of the elongate body; and

a fluid delivery conduit defining a deflectable segment defining a proximal end and a distal end with the proximal end being slidably and rotatably coupled to the shaft and the distal end being immovably fixed to the shaft, the deflectable segment being transitionable from a first configuration to a second configuration.

11. The medical device of claim 10 , wherein the first configuration is a linear configuration.

12. The medical device of claim 10 , wherein the second configuration is a helical configuration.

13. The medical device of claim 10 , wherein the second configuration is a curvilinear configuration.

14. The medical device of claim 10 , further comprising a first actuator coupled to the deflectable segment to adjust a longitudinal position of at least a portion of the deflectable segment and a second actuator coupled to the deflectable segment to adjust a rotational position of at least a portion of the deflectable segment.

15. A medical device, comprising:

an elongate body having a proximal portion and a distal portion;

a shaft at least partially disposed within the elongate body;

an expandable element at the distal portion of the elongate body;

a fluid delivery conduit defining a deflectable segment movably coupled to the shaft, the deflectable segment defining a proximal end and a distal end and being transitionable from a first configuration to a second configuration, the distal end of the deflectable segment being immovably fixed to the shaft and the proximal end being slidably and rotatably coupled to the shaft;

a first actuator coupled to the deflectable segment to adjust a longitudinal position of at least a portion of the deflectable segment; and

a second actuator coupled to the deflectable segment to adjust a rotational position of at least a portion of the deflectable segment.
