SYSTEM FOR TREATMENT AND IMAGING USING ULTRASONIC ENERGY AND MICROBUBBLES AND RELATED METHOD THEREOF |
摘要 |
A method and related system for providing therapy to a treatment site, such as stenosis or other vasculature disease, at one or more locations of a subject, such as the vasculature. The method includes: advancing an ultrasound catheter to or in proximity to the subject's treatment site; infusing microbubbles into or proximal to the treatment site; and delivering ultrasonic energy from the ultrasound catheter.
