Abstract:
A balloon device for treating a calcified structure of a body tissue, including an elongated body extending between a proximal end and a distal end and having at least one lumen extending along at least a portion thereof and defining a fluid path, and at least one inflatable balloon secured to the elongated body and fluidly connected to the at least one lumen, with the at least one lumen being fluidly connectable to a fluid source for selectively inflating and deflating the at least one inflatable balloon, and with the at least one inflatable balloon, when being inflated, is positioned in close proximity to the calcified structure and vibrating, mechanical vibrations of the at least one inflatable balloon causes destructuration of the calcified structure.
