Sound wave device aims to improve heart stent success in women
NCT ID NCT05755711
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a device that uses sound waves (intravascular lithotripsy) to break up hard calcium deposits in the heart arteries of women with coronary artery disease. The goal is to make it easier to place stents and improve outcomes. About 400 women are being followed to see if the device is safe and effective in real-world use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Shockwave Medical Coronary IVL System (a device that uses sound waves to break up calcium in heart arteries)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that the device helps women with calcified heart disease get better stent placement and fewer complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may not prove the device is better than other treatments. It only includes women, so findings may not apply to men.
