Summary:A system for re-canalization or opening a passage through an occlusion in a blood vessel is provided. The system includes an apparatus and a control unit. The apparatus of the system is appropriate for both cardiovascular as well as peripheral vessels, and uses a pulling member and a spring element, for example, a compression spring, to oscillate a vibratable member. The control unit of the system permits the frequency or amplitude of oscillation of the vibratable member to be adjusted. The system is useful not only for penetrating a total or partial occlusion, but also to improve deliverability of a catheter through a partially occluded vessel or tortuous vessel. Un système qui permet de créer une nouvelle canalisation ou douvrir un passage à travers une occlusion dans un vaisseau sanguin est décrit. Le système comprend un appareil et une unité de commande. Lappareil du système convient aux vaisseaux cardiovasculaires et aux vaisseaux périphériques, et utilise un élément de traction et un élément ressort, par exemple, un ressort de compression, pour faire osciller un élément pouvant vibrer. Lunité de commande du système permet le réglage de la fréquence ou de lamplitude de loscillation de lélément pouvant vibrer. Le système sert non seulement à pénétrer une occlusion totale ou partielle, mais également à améliorer la capacité de pose dun cathéter à travers un vaisseau partiellement occlus ou un vaisseau tortueux.
