Abstract
Coronary artery calcification is an impediment to percutaneous coronary interventions by obstructing the device pathway or stent deployment. To facilitate percutaneous coronary intervention in such complex lesions, high-pressure balloon dilations, atherectomy procedures, and specialty balloons are used but they all come with considerable limitations and periprocedural complications like dissection and perforation. To surpass these disadvantages, intravascular lithotripsy was introduced which acts by delivering high-pressure pulsatile sonic waves circumferentially thereby destroying the calcium deposits. It is a safe and effective treatment modality in treating severe coronary artery calcification and facilitating stent delivery with minimal complications.
