Treating Women With Calcified Coronary Arteries Using Intravascular Lithotripsy: Primary Results of the EMPOWER CAD Study

In the real-world EMPOWER CAD study, an IVL-first strategy demonstrated a favorable safety profile, high procedural success, and significant stenosis reduction and quality of life improvement at 30 days, consistent with or better than prior IVL studies performed in predominantly male populations.

Abstract

In the real-world EMPOWER CAD study, an IVL-first strategy demonstrated a favorable safety profile, high procedural success, and significant stenosis reduction and quality of life improvement at 30 days, consistent with or better than prior IVL studies performed in predominantly male populations.
