　　报告摘要： 

　　Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the number one cause of death and the search for more effective diagnosis and treatment techniques has been of a great interest. Intravascular ultrasound present a great potential in imaging and therapy for CVD and unprecedented challenges to transducer technology. In this talk, forward-viewing intravascular transducers with center frequency < 1 MHz were designed, fabricated and tested for effective and safe intravascular sonothrombolysis. Despite the small aperture (diameter <1.5 mm) with respect to the wavelength (2.2 mm), and peak-negative-pressure of 1.35 MPa with a corresponding mechanical index of 1.67 was achieved. Significantly enhanced thrombolysis rate was observed by using microbubbles in in-vitro tests. This small aperture low frequency transducer can also be promising for minimal invasive surgery.
