Percutaneous catheter-delivered ultrasound energy for arterial recanalisation was applied in
eight patients with peripheral vascular disease. Four patients had severe claudication with …

We previously reported the initial use of percutaneous catheter delivered ultrasound energy
for arterial recanalization in eight patients with peripheral vascular disease. All patients had …

BACKGROUND Ultrasonic angioplasty was recently shown to ablate thrombi and
atherosclerotic plaques in vitro and to recanalize occluded arteries in experimental animal …

Ultrasonic energy has been shown to ablate atherosclerotic plaques and arterial and
venous thrombi. We used an ultrasonic angioplasty device developed by our group in ten …

To investigate the use of high energy ultrasound as an alternative energy for angioplasty, an
experimental ultrasonic angioplasty device was developed. The device was studied in two …

At present, percutaneous peripheral ultrasound angioplasty should be considered in those
patients with symptoms of claudication or resting limb ischemia. With the development of an …

Catheter-based ultrasound (US) transducers may be introduced into the vascular system to
record high-resolution images of the vessel wall and lumen. The potential advantages and …

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to present follow-up data as well as short-term
results on a larger clinical series of patients undergoing ultrasound angioplasty …

This article reviews many of the applications of intravascular ultrasonic imaging for coronary
and peripheral arterial disease. In vitro studies demonstrate an excellent correlation …

AbstractPurpose: To determine if ultrasound angioplasty in a percutaneous approach was
capable of recanalizing occluded arteries in acute and subacute peripheral arterial …
