Intravascular Lithotripsy and Aortic Bare-Metal Stenting: A Low-Profile Solution for the Treatment of Heavily Calcified Aorto-Iliac Disease.

Endovascular treatment of heavily calcified aortoiliac disease poses significant challenges, including the risk of rupture and dissection. The proposed technique uses intravascular lithotripsy and bare-metal stenting of the aortic bifurcation and represents a low-profile solution that preserves collaterals and potentially reduces the risk of dissection with IVL vessel preparation.
