Paper deals with applications of underwater shock waves to medicine. A historical development of underwater shock wave generation by using pulsed Ho:YAG laser beam irradiation in water is briefly described and an overview is given regarding potential applications of shock waves to neuro-surgery. The laser beam irradiation in a liquid-filled catheter produces water vapor bubble and shock waves intermittently...
Two of the problems inherent in the treatment of cerebral emboli are the narrow therapeutic time window and the severe side effects of fibrinolytic drugs. Thus, it is necessary to develop a new method of removing a cerebral thrombus more rapidly and with smaller quantities of fibrinolytics. The behaviour of a bubble formed by holmium (Ho):YAG laser irradiation in a capillary tube filled with pure...
