    Abstract: An optical coherence tomography probe and laser combination device configured for real-time z-directional guidance of the incisional depth of a surgical procedure. It can be used alone or placed within the working channel of an endoscope. The device includes an OCT single mode fiber, and a laser fiber or laser hollow waveguide or electrical surgical wire positioned adjacent to the OCT single mode fiber. The single mode fiber is configured to move laterally when activated by an actuator to scan light data reflected from a sample that is positioned in front of a distal end of the device. The light data can be processed to generate a B-scan image. The device can collect data in real-time during lasing, or immediately prior to and following the cutting. The surgical tool, when coupled to a processor, can deactivate when the B-scan image identifies that the incision is within a predefined tolerance.

    Abstract: The invention describes methods for safely delivering ablation energy to a tissue, e.g., thrombus, in need of ablation therapy. The method uses a catheter adapted for IVUS imaging, ablation, and impedance measurements to monitor the impedance of a tissue receiving ablation energy. In an embodiment, a user may view an IVUS image of the tissue with impedance measurements to determine if it is safe to deliver additional energy. In another embodiment, a processor is configured to determine if it is safe to deliver additional ablation energy based upon the impedance measurement.

    Abstract: A steerable laser probe may include a handle, an actuation structure having an actuation structure distal end and an actuation structure proximal end, a flexible housing tube, and an optic fiber disposed within an inner bore of the handle and the flexible housing tube. An extension of the actuation structure distal end relative to the actuation structure proximal end may be configured to gradually curve the flexible housing tube and the optic fiber. A retraction of the actuation structure distal end relative to the actuation structure proximal end may be configured to gradually straighten the flexible housing tube and the optic fiber.
