Abstract

Under-expanded coronary stent related to inadequate preparation of calcified lesion is associated with poor clinical outcomes.Off-label use of S-IVL to correct this clinical issue is effective and safe, probably more than other current techniques. However, this statement needs further evidence.

Keywords: calcified coronary lesion; coronary lithotripsy; stent expansion optimization.
