Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial assesses the long-term safety and efficacy of an intravascular lithotripsy system designed for pre-treatment of calcified carotid artery stenosis. It is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study involving 204 participants who have symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Participants will be followed up at 3 and 6 months postoperatively to evaluate surgical success and other secondary endpoints related to re-narrowing and adverse events. The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of this novel treatment approach.
