Calcium Challenge - Tackling Rings, Nodules and Plates: How Can We Get More from Intravascular Lithotripsy Technology?
Review in Interventional cardiology (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Calcific coronary artery disease presents unique challenges in achieving optimal stent deployment, which is crucial for long-term procedural success. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), introduced to the UK in 2018, has revolutionised the treatment of calcific lesions through its simplicity of use and ability to modify calcium safely and effectively. This expert opinion explores the evolution of IVL technology, its mechanism of action, and suggested refinement in its application based on the evidence and experience of the authors. Emphasis is placed on optimising IVL usage across various calcific scenarios, including concentric, nodular and eccentric calcium, and large bifurcations. Lessons from peripheral vascular studies, such as balloon oversizing strategies, are discussed to enhance the optimal usage of IVL in coronary interventions. By proposing new iterations in IVL usage, and emphasising its safety and efficacy, this article aims to refine the interventional community's approach to tackling calcific coronary disease with IVL.
