Summary: International, investigator-driven, multicenter, open-label, prospective randomized controlled trial where patients with de novo lesions due to calcified nodules (CN) were randomized to drug eluting balloon (DEB) or drug eluting stents (DES).

Summary: The FORWARD CAD IDE Study is a Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Arm, Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Study conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System with the Javelin Coronary IVL Catheter for the treatment of calcified, stenotic de novo coronary artery lesions prior to stenting.

Summary: A prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-center IDE study with up to 55 US sites

Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the ELS to treat urinary stones. The ELS is intended to break urinary stones into small fragments that can pass during or after the procedure with less or no discomfort. Eligible patients are male or females, age 21 or older, with a single urinary stone in the ureter. Participants will undergo the ELS procedure and then be eval...

Summary: The climate crisis and environmental pollution are escalating day by day, making the reduction of carbon footprints increasingly important both on an individual and industrial level. Inhalational anesthetic agents are widely used in daily anesthesia practice. However, some of these agents are released into the environment either unchanged or as metabolic by-products. It can take hundreds of years ...

Summary: The goal of this prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial is to objectively evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety differences between superpulse thulium fiber laser (sTFL) and holmium:YAG laser (Ho:YAG) in flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) lithotripsy in adult patients aged 18-70 years with kidney stones and/or upper ureteral stones (6-20mm). The main questions it aims to answer are: D...

Summary: Though the efficacy of VRH is documented in various outpatient urological procedures and has provided promising preliminary information in prostate biopsy, its systematic use in urology remains poorly studied. Considering the potential of invasive urological procedures to induce significant patient discomfort, the application of innovative immersive approaches, such as those offered by medical dev...

Summary: To assess the efficacy and safety of Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) in subjects undergoing transfemoral TAVR in patients with severe iliac disease, prohibitive for transfemoral TAVR in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, otherwise considered for alternative access TAVR. (e.g. trans-carotid)

Summary: This prospective pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary clinical outcomes of a novel mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) technique integrating a flexible mini-nephroscope with a flexible and navigable suction access sheath (FANS) for the treatment of complex renal stones. Thirty consecutive patients with renal stones ≥2 cm will be prospectively enrolled. Al...

Summary: The clinical trial is intended to evaluate the efficacy, safety and economic benefit of coronary lithotripsy compared to other additional procedures (cutting or super high pressure balloon angioplasty, ablative procedures) in lesion preparation and interventional treatment of severely calcified coronary stenoses.

Summary: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for in-stent restenosis (ISR) accounts for 5-10% of PCI. ISR may be linked to mechanical complications mainly under-expansion (UE), neointimal hyperplasia and/or neoatherosclerosis. International guidelines recommends non-compliant and very-high-pressure balloons, which lead to sub-optimal angiographic and clinical results. Recently, observational studies h...

Summary: CALCIO is a multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study that will collect real world data on the use of intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) with the Shockwave IVL system to disrupt calcified femoropopliteal and crural lesions in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). The primary objective of CALCIO is to understand the effectiveness of IVL in promoting wound healing and preve...
