Abstract:Background: Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) delivers acoustic pressure waves to modify calcification to enhance vessel compliance and optimize stent deployment. The Disrupt CAD IV study enrolled patients with severe coronary artery calcification. The primary safety (30-day major adverse coronary events [MACE], 6.3%) and effectiveness (procedural success, 93.8%) endpoints were achieved. The present analysis evaluated the 2-year outcomes of the study.
Methods and Results:Disrupt CAD IV (NCT04151628) was a prospe… Show more
