Why Use
Shock Waves in Cardiology?
Shock Wave Therapeutic Effect
The therapeutic effect of shock waves is attributed to
the mechanical pressure and tension that the wave exerts
on tissue. Delivery of low intensity shock waves cause
shear stress on the vessel wall. This stimulates angiogenesis-related
growth factors (eNOS, VEGF and PCNA), initiating the angiogenesis
process.

Shock Wave
Characteristics
What
are shock waves?
Shock waves are acoustic waves, similar to ultra-sound
waves that are generated by an underwater high-voltage
spark. Shock waves are single pulse waves with high-pressure
amplitude, small pulse width and a short rise time.
Shock waves are delivered non-invasively, focused
by a special ellipsoid reflector. The reflector
is coupled to the patient`s skin near the affected
area with a water cushion. The focal zone distance
into the patient`s body is adjusted according to
the clinical requirements. |

What is NI-CATh? |
| |
NI-CATh
is Non-Invasive Cardiac Angiogenesis Therapy, combining
shock wave technology with Angina Pectoris therapy. The
treatment is performed using a shock wave generator that
is designed to address the unique clinical-anatomical
requirements of the chest cavity.
A cardiac ultrasound imaging system is used to locate
the treatment area and to map the exact position and extent
of the ischemic zone. Shock waves are then delivered via
the anatomical acoustic window to the treatment area under
E.C.G. R-wave gating. Several treatment sessions are required
to obtain optimal results.
|
| |
Why NI-CATh? |
| |
Patients with advanced CAD frequently
have recurrent Angina. Surgical and interventional options
for these patients typically have been exhausted or will
result in only partial revascularization. NI-CATh offers
new hope for these patients and provides therapy which
complement existing treatment procedures. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
Treatment
Strategy
At each treatment session, shock waves are delivered to
the border of the ischemic area, triggering the viable
tissue for angiogenesis. |
