New device uses sound waves to crack heart artery calcium
NCT ID NCT07407738
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new device called ShockFast IVL against an existing one, ShockWave IVL, for treating hardened calcium deposits in heart arteries. Both devices use sound waves to break up calcium so a stent can be placed more easily. The trial will involve 120 adults with coronary artery disease who need a stent, and it will measure how well the stent opens the artery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ShockFast IVL device (intravascular lithotripsy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, effective option for breaking up calcium in heart arteries, making stent placement safer and more successful.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 120 participants, and it compares a new device to an existing one. The new device may not work as well or could have unexpected risks.
