Title: Ultrasound catheter for disrupting blood vessel obstructions
Inventor: NITA HENRY
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2003-08-26
Abstract: Ultrasound catheter devices and methods provide enhanced disruption of blood vessel obstructions. Generally, an ultrasound catheter (10) includes an elongate flexible catheter body with one or more lumens. An ultrasound transmission member (24) or wire extends longitudinally through the catheter body lumen and, in many embodiments, a guide wire tube (28) also extends through the same lumen. A distal head (26) is fixed to or otherwise mechanically coupled with the distal end of the ultrasound transmission member or wire and is positioned adjacent the distal end of the catheter body. Although the distal end of the catheter body overlaps the distal head, the distal head is not directly affixed to the distal end of the catheter when ultrasonic energy is applied through the ultrasound transmission member. Such a freely floating distal head enhances the efficiency of an ultrasound catheter, enabling the catheter to ablate calcific occlusions and increasing the useful life of the ultrasound transmission member and catheter.
