Intravascular Lithotripsy Is Associated With Superior Clinical Outcomes Compared to Atherectomy: A Large‐Scale, Propensity‐Matched Analysis

These findings support IVL as a safe and effective alternative for complex coronary lesions, emphasizing the need for validation in randomized trials to assess for causality.
