1. An apparatus for imaging tissue during a medical procedure, comprising:

  • a tubular member comprising a proximal end, a distal end sized for introduction into a patient'"'"'s body, and one or more lumens extending between the proximal and distal ends;

    a tubular extension extending distally beyond the distal end to a distal tip, the tubular extension having a cross-section smaller than the distal end and being biased to a curved shape, the tubular extension including a passage communicating from a first lumen of the tubular member to an outlet at the distal tip;
