High- and low-power laser lithotripsy achieve similar results: A systematic review and meta-analysis of available clinical series.

Journal of endourology, 2021
Purpose There is no clear evidence that high-power (HP) laser generators perform better than low-power (LP) ones in terms of lithotripsy outcomes. We aimed to perform a systematic review of literature in order to compare the efficacy outcomes of both HP ...

Primary outcomes and mechanism of action of intravascular lithotripsy in calcified, femoropopliteal lesions: Results of Disrupt PAD II

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions, 2018
DISRUPT PAD II was designed to evaluate the safety and performance of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), a novel approach using pulsatile sonic pressure waves, to modify intimal and medial calcium in stenotic peripheral arteries.
