Embodiment Construction

[0014] The present invention generally relates to imaging and therapeutic devices, systems and methods for use, such as denervation. In general, the present invention relates to imaging and therapy devices having therapeutic elements that deliver high intensity energy, such as ultrasound energy.

[0015] catheter

[0016] In certain embodiments, the device is a catheter and is configured for intraluminal introduction into a lumen of a target body, such as a renal artery. The size and other physical characteristics of the catheter body will vary significantly depending on the body lumen to be accessed. Specifically, the catheter can be used for "over-the-wire" introduction when the guidewire channel extends completely through the catheter body, or when the guidewire channel extends only through the distal portion of the catheter body. Introduced in "rapid exchange". In other cases, a fixed or integral coil or wire end may be provided on the distal portion of the catheter, ...

Abstract

An imaging and treatment device comprises a catheter body, an imaging transducer, and an elongated member. The imaging transducer is disposed at a distal portion of the catheter body. A treatment element is disposed at a distal end of the elongated member, and the elongated member is movable within a lumen of the catheter body.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 978,354, filed April 11, 2014, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. field of invention [0003] The present invention relates to medical devices, systems and methods for use in, for example, renal denervation. Background technique [0004] Hypertension is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular risk factors, affecting 34% of adults worldwide and is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Because of non-adherence to pharmacological treatment or resistance to drug treatment, only a small proportion of affected adults can keep hypertension under control. The renal sympathetic nervous system has been identified as a major contributor to the complex pathophysiology of hypertension, states of volume overload such as heart failure, and progressive renal disease. Disruption of these renal sympathetic nerve...
