Abstract
A catheter system for treating a treatment site includes an energy source, a balloon, an energy guide, and a pressure sensor. The balloon is positionable substantially adjacent to the treatment site. The balloon has a balloon wall that defines a balloon interior that receives a balloon fluid. The energy source generates energy that is received by the energy guide so that the energy guide can guide the light energy into the balloon interior. The pressure sensor senses a balloon pressure of the balloon fluid. A method for disrupting calcification at the treatment site includes the steps of generating energy with an energy source, positioning a balloon substantially adjacent to the treatment site, the balloon having a balloon wall that defines a balloon interior, the balloon interior being configured to receive a balloon fluid, receiving energy from the energy source with an energy guide, guiding the energy from the energy source into the balloon interior with the energy guide; and sensing a balloon pressure of the balloon fluid with a pressure sensor.
