Shockwave therapy opens hardened arteries for Life-Saving aortic repair
NCT ID NCT05880641
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special balloon that uses shockwaves to crack calcium buildup in the iliac arteries, making it possible to deliver large aortic stents. About 40 adults with severe aortic disease and hardened arteries will be enrolled. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for enabling endovascular repair.
