Abstract
Systems and methods for securing cardiovascular tissue, including via asymmetric inflatable members, are disclosed. A device in accordance with one embodiment includes a catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, with a working portion positioned toward the distal end and being elongated along a terminal axis. An energy transmitter and an inflatable member are positioned at the working portion, with the inflatable member being inflatable under fluid pressure from a generally collapsed configuration to an inflated configuration. In the inflated configuration, the inflatable member can be asymmetric relative to the terminal axis.
