Abstract
Pulsatile balloon catheter systems are provided. Aspects of the systems include: a pulse generator; and a balloon catheter assembly operably connected to the pulse generator. In embodiments, the balloon catheter assembly includes: a proximal connector operably connecting the balloon catheter assembly to the pulse generator and configured to transduce a first pulse energy generated by the pulse generator to a second pulse energy; a distal balloon; and a catheter component, where the catheter component includes a fluidic passage operably positioned between the proximal connector and the distal balloon, which passage is configured to propagate the second pulse energy from the proximal connector along the fluid passage to the distal balloon. Also provided are balloon catheter assemblies and kits that include the same. Also provided are systems and methods for assessing vessel compliance in-vivo. Also provided are systems and methods for determining system state of balloon catheter systems. The systems, assemblies and kits find use in a variety of different applications, including balloon angioplasty applications.
