Two Case Reports of Percutaneous Intravascular Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Severe Coronary Artery Calcification. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Severe coronary calcification is a common challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention, often resulting in suboptimal stent expansion. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) employs acoustic pressure waves to fracture calcified plaques and increase procedural success.
