Intracoronary Stenting and Additional Results Achieved by ShockWAVE Coronary Lithotripsy

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.
