Leyla Schweiger (Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria) highlights how vessel preparation with Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) effectively modifies severe calcium in the femoropopliteal segment. Referring to a case of a 78-year-old female patient with complex chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) disease, Schweiger details how the Shockwave E8 catheter (Shockwave Medical) enabled successful lesion preparation and subsequent treatment, leading to improved patient outcomes—including significant wound healing at three-month follow-up.
