Shock Wave Intravascular Lithotripsy: Shock the Rock

Complex coronary artery disease with severe calcification can be challenging to treat, a higher risk of procedural complications and major adverse cardiac events. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is pioneering technology for the treatment critically calcified coronaries. IVL utilizing localized pulsatile sonic pressure waves at low provides novel approach lesion preparation severely plaques. The deliverability ease use are also likely increase access IVL, combination therapy other devices shows promise.
