Systems and methods for assessment of tissue properties, noninvasively, by acquiring data relating to at least one aspect of intrinsic and/or induced tissue displacement, or associated biological responses, are provided. Data relating to tissue displacement and associated biological changes may be acquired by detecting acoustic properties of tissue using ultrasound interrogation pulses, preferably in a scatter or Doppler detection mode. Based on this data, tissue properties are assessed, characterized and monitored. Specific applications for systems and methods of the present invention include non-invasive assessment and monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP), arterial blood pressure (ABP), CNS autoregulation status, vasospasm, stroke, local edema, infection and vasculitus, as well as diagnosis and monitoring of diseases and conditions that are characterized by physical changes in tissue properties. Methods and systems for localizing physiological condition(s) and/or biological response(s), such as pain, by targeting and selectively probing tissues using the application of focused ultrasound are also provided.

A therapeutic device and method for use thereof for treatment of blood flow disorders is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first line emergency response system for treatment of acute thrombotic and/or vasospastic vascular obstructions via the noninvasive application of low frequency vibration with at least one, and preferably a plurality of randomly administered vibratory waveform characteristics (herein after “Randomic Vibration”) is detailed. The disclosed apparatus and methods are based on the intuition that transcutaneously imparted low frequency randomic vibration can provide enhanced clot disruption and mixing of clot disruptive agents to acutely thrombosed vessels, due to the addition of mechanical chaos via non-regular, multi-vectored convection currents. In a preferred embodiment, the disclosed apparatus and methods preferably utilize randomic vibration as an adjunct to systemically administered drug therapy, most preferably intravenously administered thrombolytic drug therapy.

A method of treating cerebral vasospasm includes delivering at least a first blood vessel including an expandable segment to a position within a blocked or constricted portion of a vessel and transitioning the expandable segment from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration to dilate the vessel and to restore adequate blood flow through the vessel. The expandable segment has a pre-set outer diameter substantially equal to or less than an inner diameter of the vessel. Additionally, the expandable segment is configured to expand with a minimal amount of radial force necessary to contact and expand the inner walls of the vessel. After dilation of the vessel, the device is removed from the patient's body. If necessary, additional blood vessel dilation devices each including an expandable segment having a pre-set outer diameter greater than the previous device's expandable segment can be used in order of increasing pre-set outer diameter of the expanded segment to further dilate the blocked or constricted portion of the vessel and restore blood flow through the vessel. Once adequate blood flow through the vessel has been restored, the blood vessel dilation device is withdrawn.

The invention relates to an external ventricular drainage and hematoma clearance device. The external ventricular drainage and hematoma clearance device includes a drainage tube, and a first drainageneedle and a second drainage needle which are connected to a head end and a tail end of the drainage tube respectively; a surface of an inner wall of the drainage tube is coated with an anticoagulantcoating; and a filtering device, a pressure application device and a three-way tube are successively arranged on a tube line of the drainage tube. The external ventricular drainage and hematoma clearance device can adopt different drainage manners according to the ventricular hematoma degree: for ventricular cast severe cerebral hemorrhage, the two drainage needles adopt transorbital puncture, puncture a lateral ventricle posterior horn, and adopt angle puncture and enter a ventricle, and a hematoma-lateral ventricle frontal horn drainage-purging in vitro-lateral ventricle posterior horn backflow circulation loop is established; and for mild ventricular hemorrhage, the first drainage needle and the second drainage needle are combined into a puncture needle, and a local circulation is established. The external ventricular drainage and hematoma clearance device can clear up ventricular blood clots, in particular ventricular cast, can effectively relieve secondary lesion such as hydrocephalus, encephaledema, and vasospasm due to ventricular hemorrhage and ventricular cast.
