摘要：H eavily calcified coronary arteries are ex-tremely difficult to treat as calcium de-posits "hardens" the arteries and alter vascular compliance.Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)is a new technology consisting of a balloon-based system with miniaturized lithotripsy emitters that create a localised field effect to crack calcium in the arterial wall.Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty is an alternative treatment option in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with an attractive strategy of leaving nothing behind combined with local drug delivery.In this brief clinical report,we described our early experience of using a novel combination of IVL and DCB angioplasty in two elderly patients with good angiographic results.
