I heard about this new technology that uses lithotripsy to breakup intravascular calcifications. It is marketed by Shockwave medical and is relatively new. It seems to be safe based on a study from about 2 years ago.
I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with it. We do not have it yet at our institution, but was curious what anyone in the vascular crowd has to say about it. Thanks for your input!
