In this case report, Stefano Fazzini (University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy) illustrates how the new Shockwave L6 offers an “ideal solution” for severely calcified iliac lesions as part of an optimised approach to imaging and functional assessment.
He shares the case of a 71-year-old man with lifestyle-limiting claudication of the left leg (Rutherford III, walking distance <50 meters). The patient was an active smoker affected by arterial hypertension, dyslipidaemia and obesity. A preoperative Duplex scan showed monophasic flow at the level of the left common femoral artery with a significant stenosis at the origin of the left external iliac artery.
Watch the video to see how this patient was treated with the Shockwave L6 technology.
