INTEGRATED ULTRASOUND ABLATION AND IMAGING DEVICE AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

Intravascular nerve modulation systems and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. An example system may include an elongate shaft having a proximal end region and a distal end region and a central longitudinal axis. An ablation transducer may be disposed at the distal end region. The system may also include a rotational drive configured to rotate the ablation transducer about the central longitudinal axis. A control and power system may be operably connected to the ablation transducer and the rotational drive. In some instances, the ablation transducer may be a combined ablation and imaging transducer.
