Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates generally to medical devices, and, in particular, to a system for improved intraluminal positioning of a laser ablation catheter during the removal of material resulting from therapeutic treatment of occlusions within blood vessels. Given the challenges associated with delivering effective therapy for vascular blockages, there remains a need to provide a catheter that can maintain a consistent intraluminal position during the treatment, despite irregularities and inconsistencies within the vessel.
