DYNAMIC LITHOPLASTY DEVICE WITH MOVABLE ENERGY GUIDE

Abstract

A catheter system for treating a treatment site within or adjacent to a blood vessel within a body of a patient, the treatment site having a proximal region and a distal region, the catheter system comprising: an energy source that generates energy; a guide shaft that is positionable adjacent to the treatment site; a catheter shaft that is configured to be selectively positioned near the treatment site; an inflatable balloon that is coupled to at least one of the catheter shaft and the guide shaft, the inflatable balloon including a balloon wall that defines a balloon interior, the inflatable balloon being configured to retain a balloon fluid within the balloon interior; and an energy guide that receives energy from the energy source, the energy guide being movably coupled to the guide shaft, the energy guide including a guide distal end that is configured to be positioned adjacent to the treatment site, the guide distal end being positioned within the balloon interior and being movable relative to the inflatable balloon, the guide distal end of the energy guide being selectively movable relative to the guide shaft and adjacent to and between the proximal region and the distal region of the treatment site while the energy guide receives energy from the energy source.
