Safety and Performance of Lithoplasty for Treatment of Calcified Peripheral Artery Lesions

Procedural success occurred in all patients, and the final residual stenosis was 23.4% with an acute gain of 2.9 mm. The average number of pulses was 104, mean balloon pressure 7.1 mm Hg, and average treatment time of 11 min per patient. [...]the study suggests that lithoplasty for the treatment of...

Description
Summary:Procedural success occurred in all patients, and the final residual stenosis was 23.4% with an acute gain of 2.9 mm. The average number of pulses was 104, mean balloon pressure 7.1 mm Hg, and average treatment time of 11 min per patient. [...]the study suggests that lithoplasty for the treatment of calcified femoropopliteal arteries is safe and effective. [...]evaluation and procedural optimization is warranted. 1 K.J.
