ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic treatment system and method for utilizing ultrasound to treat intravascular conditions, such as stenotic and occluded regions of blood vessels, are provided. The ultrasonic treatment system includes an ultrasonic probe, having a proximal and distal end. A guide catheter and guidewire may also be provided and the probe can be slidably disposed within the guide catheter's inner lumen. The probe can include a horn at the proximal end, a transmission member with a proximal and a distal end connected to the horn at the transmission member proximal end, and a distal tip connected at the transmission member's distal end. The transmission member may include one or more transmission wires, having proximal and distal ends, connected serially or in parallel.
