Abstract
A catheter for delivering shockwaves to a calcified lesion includes an elongated carrier, a pair of electrodes carried by the carrier, said electrodes being immersed in a conductive liquid, and a power source with a circuit coupled to the electrodes for supplying voltage pulses to the electrodes. The power source includes a capacitor and a switch. Each voltage pulse is between 1,000 volts and 10,000 volts. Each voltage pulse is generated by closing the switch that causes a charge stored on the capacitor to be delivered to the electrode pair. Each voltage pulse has sufficient energy to generate an arc in the liquid, allowing current to flow across the pair of electrodes to produce a shock wave associated with the expansion of a steam bubble. The catheter also includes a temperature sensor configured to sense the temperature of the conductive fluid proximate to the pair of electrodes.
