Sheath for use with an ultrasound element
First Claim
1. A system for delivering ultrasound energy to a treatment section in a vessel, comprising:
- a sheath having a utility lumen and an energy delivery section at least partially constructed from a material which transmits ultrasound energy;
a drug delivery member having a plurality of drug delivery ports which are positioned adjacent the energy delivery section; and
an elongated body including at least one ultrasound element and configured to be movably positioned within the utility lumen to transmit the ultrasound energy from the ultrasound element through the energy delivery section.
