First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special balloon that uses sound waves (lithoplasty) is better than standard balloons for preparing severely calcified (hardened) coronary arteries before placing a stent. 200 adults with stable heart disease or non-emergency heart attacks took part. The goal was to see if lithoplasty reduces the chance of stent failure or heart-related problems within one year.
