ABLATION MEDICAL DEVICE WITH THE IMAGING CAPABILITIES

Abstract

Medical device systems and methods for using medical devices/systems are disclosed. An example medical device system may include a system for treating a calcified blood vessel. The system may include an elongate catheter shaft having a distal end region. A plurality of imaging transducers may be disposed along the distal end region of the elongate catheter shaft. A plurality of ablation transducers may be disposed along the distal end region of the elongate catheter shaft and positioned adjacent to the plurality of imaging transducers. The plurality of ablation transducers may include ablation transducers spaced circumferentially around the elongate catheter shaft, ablation transducers axially-spaced along the elongate catheter shaft, or both ablation transducers spaced circumferentially around the elongate catheter shaft and ablation transducers axially-spaced along the elongate catheter shaft.
