Shockwaves to the rescue: new technique could open blocked arteries for Life-Saving heart valve surgery
NCT ID NCT05862558
Summary
This study is testing a technique called intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), which uses tiny shockwaves, to break up severe calcium deposits in the leg arteries of patients who need a heart valve replacement. The goal is to see if clearing this blockage safely allows doctors to perform the valve surgery through the leg, which is generally preferred, instead of needing a more invasive approach. The study will enroll about 50 patients to measure how well the shockwave technique works and how safe it is.
