Angioplasty and ablative devices having onboard ultrasound components and devices and methods for utilizing ultrasound to treat or prevent vasospasm
TL;DR: A catheter device incorporating combined ultrasound ablation and balloon dilation components is described in this paper, where the proximal end of the catheter body is connected to an ultrasound transducer such that ultrasonic energy will pass through the transmission member to the distal end thereof.
PatentDOI
Ultra-sound catheter for removing obstructions from tubular anatomical structures such as blood vessels
TL;DR: An ultrasound catheter is a catheter comprising an elongate flexible flexible catheter body having an ultrasound transmission member or wire extending longitudinally therethrough as discussed by the authors, where a distal head is formed on the distal end of the ultrasound transmission members or wire and is affixed to the body.
Patent
Method and apparatus for determining oxygen saturation in vivo
TL;DR: In this article, a second-order polynomial of the form SO2 = Ak2I2 + BkI + C in which A, B and C are hematocrit or total hemoglobin-dependent coefficients which may be contained in a lookup table accessed by a hematometric value selection, and k is a purely multiplicative calibration constant which can be readily determined for any individual fiberoptic system.
Patent
Ultrasonic angioplasty catheter device
TL;DR: In this article, an ultrasound transmission member (24) in a lumen of a catheter and having a distal head (26), which is rigidly mounted on the catheter was presented.
Patent
Ultrasonic Angioplasty and Ablative Devices for Treating Vasospasm
TL;DR: A catheter device (10) incorporating combined ultrasound ablation and balloon dilation components is described in this paper, where the catheter body is an elongated catheter with proximal and distal ends and an outer surface.
