Summary

This study tested a two-step treatment for people with severe calcium buildup in their leg arteries. First, a shockwave device breaks up the hard plaque, then a drug-coated stent is placed to keep the artery open. The goal was to see if this combination is safe and effective at keeping arteries open for 12 months. The study involved 50 adults with painful leg symptoms.
