1/7 A thread 🧵Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) can help modify calcified lesions - why doesn’t it harm soft tissue? Let’s dig deeper.

2/7 Back in 80s extracorporal shockwave lithotripsy was introduced as a novel noninvasive treatment of renal stones. 40 years into the future we’ve taken this technique to the next level #IVL #MedTwitter

3/7 Changes have been made to utilize shock waves intravascularly:
➡️emitters mounted on balloon angioplasty catheters delivering waves pulsatile & circumferential
➡️minimal peak negative pressure pulses (0.3 MPa)
➡️into target vessel via 0.014 wire
➡️balloon inflated to 4 atm

How would you tackle this heavily calcified LAD with calcified #nodule that was appropriately identified by intravascular imaging? #OCT

In this #EHJCaseReports #tweetorial we take a deep dive into the Rx of #calcified coronary lesions.

Calcified lesions are top of the totem pole of complex PCI
Main armamentaria are balloon-based #IVL & ablation-based (rotational/orbital) techniques, while ancillary tools eg guide extension catheters are useful too. eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/intrav…

A picture is worth a thousand words. This month's #EHJCaseReports tweetorial focuses on intravascular imaging in coronary intervention.

For starters, what do you see on this #OCT image of an intracoronary honeycomb🐝?

Honeycomb-like structure, a rare cause of myocardial ischaemia has multiple communicating channels divided by thin septa. Angiographically fuzzy & hazy appearance often without significant stenosis, they're best detected on high-resolution IVUS/OCT
