ABSTRACT:
A catheter is described with distal and proximate balloon segments expansible to produce a chamber around arterial plaque and a conduit for delivering solubilizing liquid into the chamber. The catheter may also contain a central expansible balloon to assist in forcing the liquid into the plaque and to compress the plaque. Several solubilizing liquids are described.
