Description

In patients with significant circumferential calcified carotid stenosis who are not endarterectomy candidates, carotid artery stenting (CAS) is challenged by the inability of stent radial forces to overcome the calcification. Intravascular lithotripsy fractures the plaque rendering it more amenable to angioplasty and stenting. This technique has only been reported on a single patient in neurosurgical literature.
