PORTABLE DEVICE FOR TREATMENT OF ARTERY AND METHOD OF TREATING ARTERIA

摘要

The present invention provides for the creation of a portable device and method for treating an atherosclerosis-affected artery. A portable device for treating arteries includes a handle for holding the device, an effector attached to the handle for treating arterial stenosis, and the effector is equipped with an ablative device and a feedback control device to monitor the treatment process. Preferably, the device provides treatment for the artery without invasion into the lumen of the blood vessel, as well as without damaging the inner lining of the artery, and, more importantly, the device could be used in the treatment of the atherosclerotic plaques in the arterial wall that are not identified during the standard examination by x-ray angiography.
