A mechanism for damage spread by ultrasound-induced linear defects in soft materials [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 High-intensity ultrasound excites pre-existing bubbles in tissue-like material, and the subsequent bubble activity may lead to damage. To investigate such damage mechanisms, agar tissue-mimicking phantoms were subjected to multiple pressure wave bursts of the kind being considered specifically for burst wave lithotripsy (BWL).

Fracture mechanics model of stone comminution in ESWL and implications for tissue damage [PDF]
, 2000 Focused shock waves administered during extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) cause stone fragmentation. The process of stone fragmentation is described in terms of a dynamic fracture process.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 1418-1426, May 1, 2025.ABSTRACT Background Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is increasingly used to treat coronary artery calcification (CAC). This study aimed to identify clinical and procedural factors associated with IVL treatment success. Methods This retrospective analysis included 454 patients (73 ± 9 years, 75% male) treated with IVL from the multicenter BENELUX‐IVL ...

Combined laparoscopic pyelolithotomy and endoscopic pyelolithotripsy for staghorn calculi. Long-term follow-up results from a case series [PDF]
, 2015 Purpose: Staghorn renal stones are a challenging field in urology. Due to their high recurrence rates, particularly those associated with an infective process, a complete removal is the ultimate goal in their management.

Sensitivity analysis for shape optimization of a focusing acoustic lens in lithotripsy [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We are interested in shape sensitivity analysis for an optimization problem arising in medical applications of high intensity focused ultrasound. The goal is to find the optimal shape of a focusing acoustic lens so that the desired acoustic pressure at a kidney stone is achieved.
