An intravascular lithotripsy catheter can include a sheath, first and second insulated wires, and a carrier. The first and second insulated wires can include exposed portions of an electrically conductive member and can be wound around the sheath. Exposed portions of the first and second insulated wires that form an emitter can be circumferentially offset from each other and can be longitudinally offset from each other. The carrier can encase the first and second insulated wires and the sheath and can comprise a plurality of carrier openings aligned with the exposed portions of the first and second insulated wires. The catheter can electrically connect to an energy generator that is operable to cause a spark to travel longitudinally along the catheter and circumferentially around the catheter between the exposed portions.

Intravascular lithotripsy catheter

An intravascular lithotripsy system can include a sheath configured to receive a guidewire, at least three insulated wires, and an energy generator. Each of the at least three insulated wires can comprise at least two exposed portions spaced from one another along a length of the insulated wire. The at least three insulated wires can be helically wound around the sheath and independently electrically connected with an energy generator. The exposed portions of the at least three insulated wires can define a plurality of emitters spaced from one another along a length of the sheath and which are independently operable by the energy generator. The energy generator can induce a spark via each of the plurality of emitters.
