myocardial infarction

Representative examples of primary and secondary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) treatment groups. Primary IVL group: (A) calcific lesion at baseline; (B) post IVL therapy; (C) final result after stenting. Secondary IVL group: (D) calcific lesion at baseline; (E) post IVL therapy; (F) final result after stenting (arrows).
