A lithotripsy device for tunneling through vascular occlusions comprises a tunneling catheter including a tunneling catheter shaft having a distal end and a proximal end. A tunneling probe is disposed on the distal end of the tunneling catheter shaft. The tunneling probe has a pair of electrodes; each electrode being operatively connected to an electrical lead within the tunneling catheter shaft.
