A target location of a blood vessel is treated by providing an apparatus that includes a catheter and multiple shock wave discharge points positioned within a balloon along the catheter between proximal and distal ends of the catheter, wherein the distal end extends distally beyond the balloon and the proximal end extends proximally beyond the balloon. Shock waves are created by activating an electronic controller connected to an electrode at each shock wave discharge point. The shock waves are applied through the balloon to treat the target location with the shock waves.

Method of treating a blood vessel with multiple shock wave discharge points in a catheter balloon

An apparatus that includes a catheter and multiple shock wave discharge points positioned within a balloon along the catheter between proximal and distal ends of the catheter, wherein the distal end extends distally beyond the balloon. An electronic controller includes software and is operably coupled to control firing and production of shock waves at each shock wave discharge point of the multiple shock wave discharge points.
