In one embodiment, the disclosure is directed to an integrated apparatus
for delivering energy to a tissue. The integrated apparatus included a
housing having a distal end and a tubular structure located within the
housing forming a first annulus between the tubular structure and the
housing. The tubular structure is configured to accept an energy delivery
component and is configured to form a second annulus between the tubular
structure and the energy delivery component. The first annulus and the
second annulus are configured to communicate with each other proximate to
the distal end of the housing.
