In selected patients with symptomatic inoperable calcific MS, MVL was safe and associated with significant short-term clinical and hemodynamic improvement. MVL may represent a new compassionate therapy for this challenging cohort. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term outcomes and help define the role of IVL technology in treating calcific valvular conditions.
