A system for disrupting calcium within a blood vessel includes a handle, a balloon catheter extending from the handle, a balloon positioned at a distal end portion of the balloon catheter, and a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with a lumen, the lumen being in fluid communication with an interior volume of the balloon. The system also includes a motor operably coupled to the fluid reservoir, and a pressure sensor fluidically in contact with the fluid reservoir and configured to sense a pressure within the balloon. The motor is configured to alternately (i) push fluid from the fluid reservoir through the lumen toward the interior volume of the balloon and (ii) withdraw fluid from the interior volume of the balloon toward the fluid reservoir, so as to cycle between balloon inflation and deflation to repeatedly press the balloon against an interior surface of the blood vessel.
