No Surgical Backup? No Problem. Intravascular Lithotripsy in Non-surgical Facilities

Learn how the new SCAI guidance regarding PCI within non-surgical facilities broadens the use of plaque modification devices in all U.S. cath labs. We’ll dig into intravascular lithotripsy’s (IVL) mechanism of action and how lithotripsy bridges the gap between a safe and effective calcium modification technology for use in facilities lacking on site surgical backup.
