The invention relates to a device for therapeutical treatment of a blood vessel. It comprises in combination a stent, a balloon catheter for the insertion of the stent into a blood vessel, and a generator for generating ultrasound. The stent can be expanded radially and is of such construction that it is caused to vibrate and/or develop heat when exposed to ultrasound. Inserted into the blood vessel the stent can be expanded by means of the balloon catheter to engage the inside surface of the blood vessel in order to be left in the expanded condition as an inside lining in the blood vessel after the balloon catheter having been withdrawn from the blood vessel. Energy is transferred wirelessly by means of ultrasound generated by the generator, from an extra-corporeal position to the stent as located in the blood vessel engaging the inside surface thereof.

Medical apparatus, hose set and control device thereto

Device for hyperthermia treatment in a body cavity comprising a catheter (,) to be introduced into the body cavity and being closed at the distal end thereof. An elastically expandable hose piece (,) is mounted at this end, which is sealingly connected to the catheter at both ends of the hose piece. Two passages (,) extend through the catheter and can be connected each to an associated liquid conduit (,) at the proximal end of the catheter. The passages open under the hose piece through side apertures (,) in the catheter so that the hose piece can be expanded as a balloon by the supply of liquid through one passage liquid being drained off through the other passage. The device comprises external means (,) for circulating liquid through the hose piece on the catheter and heating of the circulating liquid. A socket (,) open for fluid flow therethrough at both ends thereof is axially displaceable on the catheter said socket at the distal end thereof forming an abutment to be engaged with cervix when the catheter is introduced into uterus.
