Abstract

A system for directing ultrasonic energy through blood flow in the aorta (20) of a patient proximate the origins of the great vessels (12, 14, 16) to the head of the patient to divert material in the blood flow from the origins of the great vessels (12, 14, 16). The system comprises a first device (62) configured for introduction into the cardiovascular system of the patient and positioning proximate the origins of the great vessels (12, 14, 16) to the head of the patient, and at least one ultrasonic energy emitter (60) carried by said first device.
