Intrakoronare Lithotripsie der kalzifizierten Stenose – Schritt für Schritt

Verkalkte Koronarstenosen erfordern Ballondilatation mit hohen Drucken, um Platz für einen Stent zu schaffen. Das geht meist gut, doch kann es auch misslingen: Der Kalk gibt nicht nach, oder es kommt gar zur Ruptur. Es gibt ein neues Werkzeug für die Kardiologen: Die intrakoronare Lithotripsie (IVL) nutzt Schallwellen, um harte Plaque zu lockern. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Methoden wurden bislang keine Perforationen beschrieben.
