Methods, apparatus, and systems for repairing defective occlusions are provided. One embodiment includes an elongate body having a first lumen extending from a proximal end toward a distal end of the elongate body. An elongate structure, having a lumen extending from a proximal end toward a distal end of the elongate structure, is extendably and rotatably positioned at least partially within the first lumen of the elongate body. An energy emitting device is coupled to a portion of the elongate body proximal the distal end of the elongate body to emit focused ultrasound. |
