First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tested a two-step treatment for people with severely hardened leg arteries (peripheral artery disease). First, a shockwave device was used to crack the calcium buildup, then a drug-coated stent was placed to keep the artery open. The study included 50 adults with symptoms like leg pain or wounds. The goal was to see if the combo was safe and kept arteries open for 12 months.
