First seen Jan 14, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tests a shockwave technique (intravascular lithotripsy) to break up heavy calcium buildup in the iliac arteries of 50 people with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to make room for a new heart valve to be delivered through a leg artery, avoiding more invasive approaches. Participants must be 18–90, have severe iliac disease, and be scheduled for a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
