Cracking the calcium: new balloon tested for toughest heart blockages
NCT ID NCT04253171
Summary
This trial tested a new technique called balloon lithoplasty for treating severely hardened, calcified blockages in heart arteries. It compared this special balloon, which uses pressure waves to crack the calcium, to standard balloons used to prepare the artery before placing a stent. The goal was to see if the new method led to fewer procedural problems and better vessel health one year later in 200 patients with this challenging condition.
