ABSTRACT:
A percutaneous transluminal device for sensing the mechanical vibrations imparted to it inside a patient's vascular system. The preferred embodiments include a transducer attached to the distal end of a flexible guide wire. The transducer senses mechanical vibrations imparted to the guide wire in vivo and generates a corresponding electronic signal. Devices are provided for generating an audio or visual representation of the electronic signal.
