Evaluation of the IVUS Calcium Scoring System in Guiding Intravascular Lithotripsy During PCI

Evaluation of the IVUS Calcium Scoring System in Guiding Intravascular Lithotripsy During PCI

Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) use was independently associated with favorable stent expansion among lesions with an OCT calcium score ≥3 despite an IVUS calcium score ≤2 in PCI for calcified lesions, Dr. Shun Kitajima and colleagues, Yokohama City University Medical Center, Japan, reported in the March issue of the Circulation Journal.

The researchers compared 17 patients in the IVL group and 67 patients in the non-IVL group who had a...
