An occlusion treatment device is disclosed that is configured and dimensioned for the treatment of a lumen that is at least partially blocked by an occlusion. The occlusion treatment device comprises a catheter including a body portion with proximal and distal ends, at least one expandable element that is secured to the body portion of the catheter, and a material removal element that extends distally from the distal end of the body portion including a debriding member in communication with an energy source to facilitate selective energizing of the debriding member. The catheter is axially movable through the lumen, and rotatable within the lumen, such that the material removal element selectively imparts non-mechanical and/or mechanical energy to the occlusion to effect debriding of the occlusion. 1. An occlusion treatment device configured and dimensioned for treatment of a lumen at least partially blocked by an occlusion , the occlusion treatment device comprising:a catheter including a body portion having proximal and distal ends;at least one expandable element secured to the body portion of the catheter; anda material removal element extending distally from the distal end of the body portion, and including a flexible debriding member having a free distal end configured and dimensioned to contact the occlusion, and being in communication with an energy source to facilitate selective energizing of the debriding member, the catheter being dimensioned to be axially movable through the lumen, and rotatable within the lumen, such that the material removal element selectively imparts at least one of a non-mechanical energy and a mechanical energy to the occlusion to effect debriding of the occlusion.2. The occlusion treatment device of claim 1 , wherein the body portion of the catheter and the material removal element are formed from different materials.3. The occlusion treatment device of claim 1 , wherein the material comprising the material removal element is more ...
