Abstract:BackgroundHeavily calcified carotid stenosis (HCCS) is considered an exclusion for carotid angioplasty and/or stenting (CAS), amenable only to carotid endarterectomy. This study presents preliminary retrospective dual-center experience utilizing the Shockwave S4intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) system (Shockwave Medical) as an adjunct to CAS for HCCS.MethodsPatients with symptomatic or asymptomatic HCCS (de novo stenosis or in-stent restenosis (ISR)) undergoing IVL+CAS were included. Charts were reviewed for dem… Show more
