Abstract:
1. A method for treating a body lumen of a patient, the method comprising: receiving an apparatus comprising: introducing the distal end of the outer member into the body lumen with the inner member in a proximal position such that the sealing member substantially seals the outlet of the outer member; actuating a proximal end of the apparatus to slide the inner member to a distal position, such that the sealing member is directed away from the outlet of the outer member; delivering fluid through the first lumen such that some of the fluid exits through the outlet of the outer member into the body lumen and some of the fluid is delivered through the one or more passages in the sealing member directly into the treatment element; and performing a procedure within the body lumen using the treatment element, wherein the sealing member is configured to slide axially to partially obstruct the outlet of the outer member.
