Summary: | Various embodiments of the systems, methods and devices are provided for breaking up calcified lesions in an anatomical conduit. More specifically, an electrical arc is generated between two spaced-apart electrodes disposed within a fluid-filled balloon, creating flow and pressure waves. In some embodiments, the electrodes are spaced apart across relatively long distances to create a stronger shock. In some embodiments, the saline ionically conducting between the electrodes is confined to reduce parasitic heating. In some embodiments, the balloon is partially deflated during arc generation. |
