Abstract

Intravascular lithotripsy is a novel technique that treats calcified atherosclerotic disease using shock waves to disrupt the rigid plaque. It is an evolving technique with high reported success rates and minimal complications. Calcified plaque in the aorto-iliac arteries is highly prevalent in patients with renal impairment and is a major barrier to kidney transplantation. This case report is the first known successful application of intravascular lithotripsy for severe calcified iliac artery disease in a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), in order to facilitate listing for kidney transplantation.

期刊介绍： Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication. The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics. Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board. Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
