Intravascular Lithotripsy in Acute Coronary Syndromes: Procedural and One-Year Clinical Outcomes From the BENELUX-IVL Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the excellent success and safety of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in heavily calcified lesions, evidence in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) remains limited.

Aims

This study aimed to evaluate the procedural and clinical outcomes of IVL in heavily calcified ACS.

Methods

Patients who underwent IVL between 2019 and 2024 from the ongoing prospective BENELUX registry were eligible for inclusion. Patients were therefore classified in ACS and chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) groups. The primary technical endpoint was angiographic success < 30%, defined as the successful delivery of the IVL catheter across the target lesion and delivery of IVL pulses without angiographic complications and residual target lesion less than 30%. The primary clinical endpoint wa
