Intravascular ultrasound-guided shockwave lithotripsy of heavily calcified bilateral renal artery stenosis: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Calcified lesions represent a hard obstacle to overcome in renal arteries, particularly when renal angioplasty represents the only feasible course of action in the setting of high-risk bilateral renal artery stenosis (RAS) with refractory systemic hypertension and recurrent flash pulmonary oedema.

Case summary

We herein report a case of symptomatic bilateral severely calcified RAS, treated successfully with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided coronary and peripheral intravascular shockwave lithotripsy systems and stenting.

Discussion

Intravascular shockwave lithotripsy is an attractive modality for the treatment of challenging, heavily calcified renal arteries that combines the calcium-disrupting capability of lithotripsy with the familiarity of balloon catheters to facilitate proper stent deployment.

Renal Artery Stenosis Treated Successfully With Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy.

Project description:Renal artery stenosis (RAS) typically involves varying degrees of calcification, and treatment can be fraught with risk and suboptimal results. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) uses shockwaves to fragment calcium to facilitate angioplasty. We present a case of severe bilateral RAS successfully treated with IVL and stenting after conventional methods had failed. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Treatment of heavily calcified coronary artery stenosis using 3.5 mm peripheral intravascular lithotripsy balloon: case series.

Project description:BackgroundPrevalence of coronary artery calcification is high among patients with advanced age, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes. Percutaneous coronary intervention of heavily calcified coronary artery remains a significant challenge for interventional cardiologists. Although there are several modalities available in treating calcified coronary arteries, lesion preparation of certain heavily calcified vessels remains inadequate prior to stent deployment and/or often associated with worse periprocedural adverse outcomes.Case summaryWe report feasibility and safety of 3.5 mm peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for the treatment of severely calcified coronary stenosis in two patients after orbital atherectomy failed to debulk calcified plaque to enable stent deployment.DiscussionIntravascular lithotripsy has recently emerged as a therapeutic option in treating calcified peripheral artery disease. However, coronary IVL is currently available only in a few centres in the USA. Studies are ongoing in the safety and efficacy of this technology in treating coronaries.

Intravascular ultrasound-guided shockwave treatment of stents overlapping underexpansion of calcified left anterior descending artery.

Project description:Heavily calcified lesions may limit optimal stent deployment resulting in stent underexpansion, thus increasing the risk of restenosis and thrombosis. We describe the case of overlapping stents underexpansion treated with a shockwave intravasuclar lithoplasty system (Shockwave Medical Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA). A 65-year-old man with angina, underwent coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound showing restenosis, in a site of overlapping stents, due to calcified tissue. Shockwave lithoplasty balloon was able to break calcified tissue in a site of overlapping stents, allowing subsequent vessel dilation and repeat stent implantation with optimal final stent expansion. <Learning objective> Heavily calcified lesions may limit optimal stent deployment resulting in stent underexpansion. Treating stent underexpansion or restenosis due to calcified tissue is a great challenge. Shockwave lithoplasty is effective in breaking calcified tissue also in a site of overlapping stents. The improved plaque compliance allows to repeat stent implantation with optimal final stent expansion.

Changing paradigm for treatment of heavily calcified coronary artery disease. A complementary role of rotational atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy with shockwave balloon: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundManagement of heavily calcified coronary arteries is still a major challenge in interventional cardiology. Inadequate stent expansion in calcific lesions is the single most important predictor of stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an important tool to modify the calcium burden but is associated with limitations and requires specific skills. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel technique to treat calcified stenotic lesions and has been proposed as an alternative to RA with promising results.Case summaryWe report a case of a patient with severely calcified right coronary artery stenosis successfully treated with combination of RA and IVL.DiscussionIn this case, we demonstrate that the RA and IVL are complementary strategies, not sufficient on their own and not alternative to each other.

First case report of fully robotically assisted lithotripsy in heavily calcified left main stenosis.

Project description:BackgroundPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the standard-of-care treatment for left main stenosis as an alternative to bypass surgery. In addition, severe coronary lesion calcification can be modified by intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). However, with PCI and debulking treatment options, there are inherent limitations. PCI poses an increased health burden for the treating physician that is associated with wearing a heavy, lead-lined apron and being exposed to radiation. To overcome these issues, a robotically assisted angioplasty system (rPCI) was established that enables the operator to perform PCI remotely in routine clinical procedures. Furthermore, IVL have not been used remotely.Case summaryHere, we report the use of this technique for treating a heavily calcified left main stenosis in an 82-year-old male with previously diagnosed two-vessel coronary artery disease, progressive symptoms of dyspnoea at high cardio-vascular risk profile. The decision of the local heart team declined surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of successful rPCI combined with IVL.DiscussionIn the case presented, rPCI was feasible and safe even in a complex lesion of the left main coronary artery requiring IVL. rPCI is a revolutionary new technique that may be applied to various types of coronary artery lesions.

Orbital-Tripsy: Novel Combination of Orbital-Atherectomy and Intravascular-Lithotripsy, in Calcified Coronaries After Failed Intravascular-Lithotripsy.

Project description:Calcified coronary lesions are notorious for posing technical difficulty during angioplasty. Fortunately, more devices are available to tackle coronary calcifications. However, there remain difficult cases whereby a single modality is insufficient.

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Treatment of Calcified Lower Extremity Arterial Stenosis: Initial Analysis of the Disrupt PAD III Study.

Project description:Purpose: To evaluate the performance of peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in a real-world setting during endovascular treatment of multilevel calcified peripheral artery disease (PAD). Materials and Methods: The Disrupt PAD III Observational Study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02923193) is a prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter, single-arm observational study assessing the acute safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Peripheral IVL System for the treatment of calcified, stenotic lower limb arteries. Patients were eligible if they had claudication or chronic limb-threatening ischemia and moderate or severe arterial calcification. Between November 2017 and August 2018, 200 patients (mean age 72.5±8.7 years; 148 men) were enrolled across 18 sites and followed through hospital discharge. Results: In the 220 target lesions, IVL was more commonly used in combination with other balloon-based technologies (53.8%) and less often with concomitant atherectomy or stenting (19.8% and 29.9%, respectively). There was a 3.4-mm average acute gain at the end of procedure; the final mean residual stenosis was 23.6%. Angiographic complications were rare, with only 2 type D dissections and a single perforation following drug-coated balloon inflation (unrelated to the IVL procedure). There was no abrupt closure, distal embolization, no reflow, or thrombotic event. Conclusion: Use of peripheral IVL to treat severely calcified, stenotic PAD in a real-world study demonstrated low residual stenosis, high acute gain, and a low rate of complications despite the complexity of disease.
