Abstract
In some examples, the disclosure describes a medical assembly that includes a stent including a primary electrode, where the stent is configured to expand from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration, a secondary electrode, and an energy source configured to deliver an electrical signal between the primary electrode and the secondary electrode through a fluid in contact with the primary electrode to cause the fluid to undergo cavitation to generate a pressure pulse wave within the fluid.
