A metal-tipped catheter capable of inducing and withstanding extremely high temperatures suitable for angiopyroplasty has been developed. The probe utilizes external radiofrequency (RF) energy focused on the tip. A relatively inexpensive catheter and RF source make this a very plausible alternative to laser systems.
一种能够产生并承受极高温度、适用于血管成形术的金属尖端导管已被研发出来。该探头利用聚焦在尖端的外部射频(RF)能量。相对廉价的导管和射频源使其成为激光系统非常可行的替代方案。
