Abstract
Coronary and peripheral calcifications are associated with increased procedural complexity and suboptimal results in both coronary and peripheral percutaneous interventions. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has recently entered the clinical scenario as a new technology for plaque modification, with promising results. We present a case of high risk left main (LM) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in which peripheral Shockwave IVL was used to facilitate the delivery of an Impella CP via a 14 F sheath and coronary IVL was used to prepare a very calcific left main bifurcation lesion before stent deployment.
