A method and device for improving blood circulation to an area of interest within a patient's heart is described. The method comprises inserting a guidable elongated flexible ultrasound device into a patient's vasculature, applying ultrasonic energy to an area in need of improved circulation, and injecting materials such as angiogenic materials or contrasting agents into the area of interest. The device, suitable for performing the method, comprises an elongated tubular body, a distal head of the elongated tubular body for introducing ultrasonic energy to an area of interest, and a needle to deliver materials to an area of interest.

L'invention concerne une méthode et un dispositif d'amélioration de la circulation sanguine dans une zone d'intérêt à l'intérieur du coeur d'un patient. La méthode consiste à insérer un dispositif à ultrasons guidable oblong flexible dans le système vasculaire d'un patient, à appliquer une énergie ultrasonore à une zone nécessitant une meilleure circulation et à injecter des matières telles que des matières angiogéniques ou des agents de contraste dans la zone à étudier. Le dispositif, apte à la mise en application de la méthode, comprend un corps tubulaire oblong, une tête distale du corps tubulaire oblong destinée à introduire l'énergie ultrasonore dans une zone d'intérêt, ainsi qu'une aiguille destinée à administre les matières à une zone d'intérêt.
