Sharing the latest advances in calcium modification with intravascular lithotripsy

Emanuele Barbato and Jan-Malte Sinning review the latest advances in calcium modification strategies, highlighting the growing role of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) alongside traditional techniques such as rotational and orbital atherectomy. They discuss how new-generation IVL devices are improving deliverability, efficiency, and ease of use, enabling the treatment of increasingly complex, heavily calcified lesions. With enhanced safety and simplified workflows, these innovations are transforming daily practice and expanding the range of patients who can be treated effectively
