Intra-vascular Lithotripsy

Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat calcified lesions in the blood vessels, such as those that occur in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The procedure involves using high-frequency sound waves to fragment the calcified deposits and restore blood flow to the affected area.

The benefits of Intravascular Lithotripsy include improved blood flow, reduced pain and discomfort, and improved quality of life. The procedure is minimally invasive, and patients typically experience fewer complications and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical treatments.

Eligibility for Intravascular Lithotripsy depends on several factors including the location and severity of calcified deposits in the blood vessels, the patient's overall health, and the presence of other medical conditions.
