Extended follow-up study of IVL for carotid artery disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is collecting long-term safety and effectiveness data from patients who already completed a study of a device called IVL (shockwave therapy) for calcium buildup in the carotid artery. It does not require any new treatments or tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have completed the original IVL study for calcified carotid artery disease.

This trial tests a special balloon (IVL) to treat hardened plaque in the neck arteries that supply blood to the brain. It is for people who need a stent but whose previous balloon treatment did not work well.
This trial tests a stent procedure to open a severely blocked carotid artery in people who have not had a stroke or mini-stroke from that blockage recently. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective for preventing future strokes.
This trial is testing an interventional treatment for people who have severe narrowing (70-99%) in a major brain artery that has caused a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year. The goal is to see if this treatment can help prevent future strokes.
This registry studies how a device called Shockwave IVL (intravascular lithotripsy) is used to treat hard, calcified blockages in heart arteries when a stent is needed. It mainly helps doctors track outcomes and safety over follow-up.
This study tests a special balloon that uses sound waves to break up calcium buildup in the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) before placing a stent. It's for people who are at high risk for traditional surgery and have heavy calcium deposits in their artery.
This trial tests a new device that uses sound waves to break up calcium deposits in heart arteries before placing a stent. It is for people with severely hardened arteries that are hard to treat with standard methods.
