Abstract
A lithotripsy device includes an elongate body comprising a distal tip portion having an end surface that forms a non-zero angle with a longitudinal axis of the elongate body, a balloon circumferentially around a portion of the elongate body enclosing the end surface of the tip portion defining an interior configured to receive a fluid, and at least one emitter positioned at the end surface of the tip portion of the elongate body. The at least one emitter is configured to generate pressure waves in the fluid propagating through the balloon to disintegrate a calcified lesion. A method of using a lithotripsy device is also provided.
