Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for treating a vascular region are disclosed. An example system for treating a vascular region may include an elongate catheter shaft having a distal end region. A central lumen may be formed in the elongate catheter shaft. A treatment core may be disposed within the central lumen. The treatment core may include a plurality of ultrasound transducers. A control unit may be coupled to the treatment core. The control unit may be configured to shift between in a first configuration. A fluid delivery lumen may be defined in the elongate catheter shaft. A pump may be coupled to the elongate catheter shaft. The pump may be configured to deliver microbubbles, nanodroplets, or both to the fluid delivery lumen when the control unit is in the inactive state.
