    • A catheter system (100) for imparting pressure (1016) to induce fractures at a treatment site (1014) includes a catheter (101 ), a fortified balloon inflation fluid (2201 ) and a first light guide (2204). The catheter (101) includes an elongate shaft (102) and a balloon (122) that is coupled to the elongate shaft (102). The balloon (122) can expand to a first expanded configuration (1004) to anchor the catheter (101 ) in position relative to the treatment site (1014). The fortified balloon inflation fluid (2201) can expand the balloon (122) to the first expanded configuration (1004). The fortified balloon inflation fluid (2201) includes a base inflation fluid (2203) and a fortification component (2202). The fortification component (2202) reduces a threshold for inducing plasma formation in the fortified balloon inflation fluid (2201) compared to the base inflation fluid (2203). The fortification component (2202) can include at least one of carbon and iron. The first light guide (2204) is disposed along the elongate shaft (102) and is positioned at least partially within the balloon (122). The first light guide (2204) is in optical communication with a light source (116) and the fortified balloon inflation fluid (2201 ). The light source (116) provides sub-millisecond pulses of a light to the first light guide (2204) so that plasma formation and rapid bubble (130) formation occur in the fortified balloon inflation fluid (2201 ), thereby imparting pressure waves (1016) upon the treatment site (1014).
