Outcomes of Intravascular Lithotripsy in the Treatment of Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Purpose: Vascular calcification is an important risk factor for endovascular treatment failure and complications in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a pulsatile balloon-based device that has emerged as a tool in the treatment of calcified vessels. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IVL in the treatment of peripheral calcified lesions in CLTI patients.
