    摘要: A system, device and method for removing occlusive material from a bodily lumen comprising a catheter with a distally mounted and fluid-fillable litho-cushion in operative connection with at least one forward-focusing reflector. The catheter comprises a lumen with an electrode pair housing disposed in watertight engagement with the lumen at or near the distal end of the lumen, the electrode pair housing comprising at least one electrode pair. The at least one electrode pair is in wired communication with a pulse generator, wherein the electrode pair is configured to generate an electrical arc between the electrodes of the electrode pair with subsequent generation of a shock wave. The shock wave is directed distally out of the catheter lumen and focused forward and distally away from the catheter lumen by the at least one reflector toward the targeted occlusive material.

    摘要: An ultrasonic HIFU transducer (120) has a threaded opening into which a modular cavitation sensor (90) is removably located. The modular cavitation sensor includes a modular housing (92) containing a piezoelectric transducer for sensing acoustic signals indicative of cavitation. The modular cavitation sensor has electrodes (96,98) which engage spring contacts (112,114) in the threaded opening when the modular housing is screwed into the threaded opening. A damaged sensor can be unscrewed and replaced simply without connectors or soldering.

    摘要: Methods and devices for producing cavitation in tissue are provided. In one embodiment, a low-frequency ultrasound pulse is transmitted into tissue, a high-frequency ultrasound pulse is transmitted into tissue, and a composite waveform is formed in the tissue that has a peak negative pressure value that exceeds an intrinsic threshold for cavitation in the tissue. In some embodiments, the peak negative pressures of the individual ultrasound pulses do not exceed the intrinsic threshold for cavitation. In another embodiment, a plurality of ultrasound pulses at various resonant frequencies are transmitted into tissue, and the time delays between these transmissions are adjusted to allow the ultrasound pulses to align temporally and form a monopolar pulse having a compound peak negative pressure that exceeds an intrinsic threshold for cavitation in the tissue. Systems for performing Histotripsy therapy are also discussed.
