Abstract
A shock wave catheter for treating a lesion in a body lumen includes a shock wave emitter assembly and a retractable enclosure. In a first configuration of the catheter, the retractable enclosure is sealed to a distal member of the catheter and the lesion is treated by shock waves propagating through the enclosure wall. In a second configuration of the catheter, the retractable enclosure is retracted from the distal member of the catheter and the lesion is treated directly by shock waves emitted from the shock wave emitter assembly.
