NCT06369142

Brief Summary

The clinical trial is intended to evaluate the efficacy, safety and economic benefit of coronary lithotripsy compared to other additional procedures (cutting or super high pressure balloon angioplasty, ablative procedures) in lesion preparation and interventional treatment of severely calcified coronary stenoses.

Study Arms (2)

Lesion preparation using coronary intravascular lithotripsy

EXPERIMENTAL
Device: Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)

Lesion preparation using other methods than intravascular lithotripsy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

e.g. cutting or super high pressure balloons and/or ablative procedures

Device: Standard non-IVL methods

Interventions

Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and ballons with a nominal rated burst pressure of ≤ 18 atm

Lesion preparation using coronary intravascular lithotripsy

Standard non-IVL methods treating severely calcified lesions such as special high, super high and cutting balloons and ablative procedures

Lesion preparation using other methods than intravascular lithotripsy
