Abstract

Using the improvements made in diagnostic contrast enhanced ultrasound, researchers have made significant progress in the field of ultrasound-mediated sonoporation for drug delivery. Many programs take advantage of commercial products; both ultrasound imaging systems and contrast agents to better enable translation from preclinical to first-in-man studies (Kotopoulis et al., Med Phys 40:072902, 2013). Particularly well-suited targets for this novel therapy are diseases of the cardiovascular system. This chapter will highlight several recent studies addressing treatment of both acute and chronic conditions.
