CLTI: Lithotripsy & Endovascular Techniques for Below the Knee Interventions
Below-the-knee (BTK) arterial disease remains one of the more challenging areas in vascular care, particularly in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), where heavy calcification complicates endovascular treatment. As new calcium-modifying technologies emerge, an important question remains: what evidence supports their use in BTK interventions? In this episode of BackTable Vascular & Interventional, host Dr. Sabeen Dhand speaks with vascular surgeon Dr. Paul Foley of Doylestown Health about the Disrupt BTK II clinical trial from Shockwave Medical, which evaluates the performance of peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in heavily calcified BTK disease.
