Abstract

Systems and methods of increasing blood flow in a blood vessel (21) with an ultraluminal plaque (22). One disclosed method includes inserting an imaging guidewire (16) into the blood vessel (21) to the intraluminal plaque (22), propelling a catheter with a working head (6) over the guidewire (16) towards the distal end of the guidewire (16), scanning with the imaging guidewire (16) to generate a cross-sectional image, radially positioning the catheter using a positioning element (14), monitoring the image to ascertain that the working head (6) is properly positioned and operating the working head (6) to remove th plaque. A computerized system designed, constructed and configured to perform the methods is further disclosed.
