More Information
Summary:Apparatus, systems and methods for fracturing calcium in an artery of a patient. Certain embodiments include an expandable member, a laser light source and an optical fiber coupled to the laser light source. The optical fiber can comprise one or more emission points configured to emit electromagnetic energy from the laser light source. The electromagnetic energy can be transmitted through a fluid in the expandable member to fracture the calcium.
