An intracardiac delivery catheter or assembly is disclosed. The delivery catheter includes a delivery lumen and a flow assist balloon inflatable through an inflation lumen. In illustrated embodiments the delivery lumen has a diameter dimension of at least 8F, 9F, 10F or between 8-14F for insertion of an intracardiac echocardiography catheter (ICE) for placement at an intracardiac imaging site. In embodiments described, the delivery catheter is used for placement of an ICE catheter in a pulmonary artery or other treatment site using an asymmetric balloon having an asymmetric profile and portion to steer the delivery catheter, for example, into the right ventricle and into the pulmonary artery.
