Extended follow-up study of IVL for 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 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.

This study tests a device approach called Shockwave IVL followed by a drug-coated balloon to treat hard, calcified coronary (heart) artery blockages. It may help improve how well the artery stays open after treatment.

This trial tests a special balloon that uses sound waves to crack hard calcium buildup in the neck artery before placing a stent. The goal is to make stenting safer and more effective for people with heavily calcified blockages, which may help prevent strokes.
