Summary
This study tests a new way to treat people with severe aortic stenosis who also have heavily calcified leg arteries that normally block a less invasive heart valve replacement. Doctors use a special balloon that sends sound waves to crack the calcium, making room for the valve delivery system. The goal is to safely perform the heart procedure through the leg instead of more risky alternatives.
