Self-sensing with hollow cylindrical transducers for histotripsy enhanced aspiration mechanical thrombectomy applications
Li Gong, Alex R. Wright, Kullervo Hynynen +1
To address existing challenges with intravascular mechanical thrombectomy devices, a novel ultrasound-enhanced aspiration approach is being developed to mechanically degrade clots…
A novel forward-looking ultrasound catheter for treating vascular occlusions
Jingjing Liu, Alex R. Wright, Kullervo Hynynen +1
Thrombotic and chronic occlusions of large blood vessels are a major cause of mortality and morbidity, and so there is a need for improved treatments in many clinical circumstances…
Histotripsy of blood clots within a hollow cylindrical transducer for aspiration thrombectomy applications
Li Gong, Alex R. Wright, Kullervo Hynynen +1
Thrombolytic occlusions in stroke, pulmonary embolism and the peripheral vasculature are increasingly treated with aspiration, a catheter-based approach that employs suction to ext…
Intravital imaging and cavitation monitoring of antivascular ultrasound in tumor microvasculature
Xiaoxiao Zhao, Carly Pellow, David E. Goertz
Focused ultrasound stimulated microbubbles have been shown to be capable of inducing blood flow shutdown and necrosis in a range of tissue types in an approach termed antivascular…
