Abstract

A catheter system () for placement within a blood vessel () having a vessel wall (A) for treating a treatment site () within or adjacent to the vessel wall (A) within a body () of a patient () includes a system console (), one or more energy guides (A), and an optical connector assembly (). The system console () includes an energy source () and a console connection aperture (). The one or more energy guides (A) are configured to receive energy from the energy source (). The optical connector assembly () includes a guide coupling housing () that retains at least a portion of each of the one or more energy guides (A). The guide coupling housing () is configured to be mechanically connected to the system console () with at least a portion of the guide coupling housing () being configured to fit and be selectively retained within the console connection aperture () so that the one or more energy guides (A) are adjustably and more precisely aligned within the guide coupling housing () and relative to the energy from the energy source () to receive the energy from the energy source ().
