主权项 1. A medical system for removal of occlusions in blood vessels, the medical system comprising: a flexible ultrasonic probe, the flexible ultrasonic probe having a proximal probe end and distal probe end, wherein the flexible ultrasonic probe has a plurality of nodes and a plurality of anti-nodes of transverse motion configured to provide transverse vibration; and a flexible sheath substantially surrounding the flexible ultrasonic probe having a proximal sheath end and a closed distal sheath end, the flexible sheath defining at least one fenestration located proximate the closed distal sheath end, the at least one fenestration having a proximal fenestration end and a distal fenestration end, wherein the distal probe end of the flexible ultrasonic probe is distal relative to the distal fenestration end such that the probe is configured to side fire cavitation energy.
