An intravascular lithotripsy device can modify vascular plaque within a blood vessel of a patient by generating sonic waves. The IVL device can include a housing having a distal end, a first insulated wire comprising a first exposed portion adjacent to the distal end of the housing; and a second insulated wire comprising a second exposed portion. The first exposed portion and the second exposed portion can form a spark configured to induce sonic waves configured to travel through the fluid. The IVL device can include a reflective surface positioned proximal to the first exposed portion and the second exposed portion that can reflect the sonic waves to redirect the sonics waves from the proximal direction to a distal direction.
