Summary

This study tests a special shockwave balloon (intravascular lithotripsy) to safely widen heavily calcified arteries in the pelvis, allowing a less invasive heart valve replacement (TAVR) in patients who otherwise would need a more risky approach. About 50 adults with severe aortic stenosis and blocked iliac arteries will receive the shockwave treatment before TAVR. The goal is to see if this technique makes the procedure safer and more successful.
