A 12-mm Shockwave L6 lithotripsy catheter was employed to treat the aortic lesion, resulting in a significant decrease in the aortic pressure gradient without the need for stenting. The patient experienced complete symptom resolution postoperatively, and at 1 month, follow-up imaging confirmed vessel patency with no sign of restenosis. IVL, used here as a standalone treatment, demonstrated effectiveness in modifying calcified plaques and restoring vessel compliance, offering a less complex and potentially more cost-effective alternative to stent grafting in calcified aortic lesions.
