Zusammenfassung:Catheters for ablation and removal of occlusions from blood vessels are provided. Laser cutting systems and mechanical cutting systems are provided in catheter devices, the cutting systems operable to ablate, cut, dislodge, and otherwise remove occlusions within a blood vessel that may limit or prevent proper circulation. Catheters include expandable distal ends to facilitate, in some cases, relatively high bodily material removal rates compared to other devices.
