Abstract
An intravascular lithotripsy system can include a sheath configured to receive a guidewire, at least three insulated wires, and an energy generator. Each of the at least three insulated wires can comprise at least two exposed portions spaced from one another along a length of the insulated wire. The at least three insulated wires can be helically wound around the sheath and independently electrically connected with an energy generator. The exposed portions of the at least three insulated wires can define a plurality of emitters spaced from one another along a length of the sheath and which are independently operable by the energy generator. The energy generator can induce a spark via each of the plurality of emitters.
