Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided, Lithotrispy-Facilitated Angioplasty for Treating a Heavily Calcified Renal Artery Stenosis

Video file
Video 1. Renal artery angiogram. Critical ostioproximal left renal artery stenosis. 
Video file
Video 2. Initial Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The Shockwave IVL balloon remained unexpanded after first therapies.
