35 Intravascular lithotripsy-assisted PCI for severe calcific coronary disease: evaluating the impact on quality of life and outcomes Open
Introduction Severe coronary artery calcification (CAC) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a common cause of procedural complications, lack of success, and stent failure. In this study we examine the utility…
