Clinical Trial: Intravascular Lithotripsy Versus Rotational Atherectomy for Severe Coronary Artery Calcification: A Prospective, Multicenter, Non-inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial

U.S., Aug. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07750964) titled 'Intravascular Lithotripsy Versus Rotational Atherectomy for Severe Coronary Artery Calcification: A Prospective, Multicenter, Non-inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial' on July 15.

Brief Summary: Severely calcified coronary lesions represent one of the major challenges in interventional cardiology. Severe coronary calcification increases the difficulty and complexity of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), impedes device delivery, and may even lead to device failure. Moreover, stent underexpansion further elevates the risks of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, and in-stent thrombosis. Rotat...
