  • Ultrasound Energy Delivery Assembly
    Publication number: 20110046522
    Abstract: In a first embodiment, an ultrasound energy delivery assembly includes a waveguide and a catheter having a capture member. The capture member extends radially inward from an interior surface of the catheter into a lumen of the catheter and is configured to retain the enlarged distal tip so that the enlarged distal tip is temporarily prevented from moving proximally. In a second embodiment, an ultrasound energy delivery assembly includes a waveguide and a sheath covering at least a portion of the waveguide. In a third embodiment, an ultrasound energy delivery assembly includes a waveguide and a dual lumen catheter having a capture member. In a fourth embodiment, an ultrasound energy delivery assembly includes a waveguide and a catheter having a proximal waveguide lumen and a proximal guide wire lumen that merges with the proximal waveguide lumen at their respective distal ends to form a distal lumen.
