  • Publication number: 20240423655
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the systems, methods, and devices are provided for controlled operation of IVL for breaking up calcified lesions in an anatomical conduit. More specifically, control arrangements are disclosed concerning managing and/or providing electrical energy to generate an electrical arc between a set of spaced-apart electrodes disposed within a fluid-filled balloon, creating stable and constant, or slightly increasing, pressure output over at least 300 voltage pulses. Control arrangements disclosed further determine whether an electrical arc was successfully generated.
