- In the patient-level pooled analysis, titled “Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy for Treatment of Severely Calcified Lesions: Long-Term Sex-Specific Outcomes,” use of IVL for lesion preparation of severely calcified lesions had similar safety and effectiveness in women and men at a one-year follow-up.
- At one-year, major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) rates were not different between women and men (12.3% vs 13.2%, p=0.52) and there was no difference between women and men in target lesion failure (TLF, 10.4% vs. 11.2% p=0.43).
