An ultrasonic catheter comprises a catheter body having an interface surface (40) which extends at least partially over a circumferential portion of the catheter body (16). The interface surface (40) is coupled to an oscillating driver (42) so that axial and/or radial oscillations are radiated into a fluid environment surrounding the catheter body. Optionally, the catheter may be provided with a fluid infusion lumen and/or inflatable balloons on either side of the interface surface in order to deliver treatment fluid within a specific or isolated region in a body lumen.
Un cathéter à ultrasons comprend un corps doté d'une surface d'interface (40) qui recouvre au moins partiellement une partie circonférentielle de ce corps (16) et qui est raccordée à un dispositif d'entraînement oscillant (42), de façon que des oscillations axiales et/ou radiales rayonnent dans un environnement fluide entourant ce corps de cathéter. Ce cathéter peut éventuellement comporter un lumen de perfusion de fluide et/ou des ballonnets gonflables disposés de chaque côté de la surface d'interface, ce qui permet de diffuser un fluide de traitement dans une région spécifique ou isolée, dans un lumen d'un organe d'un patient.
