Intravascular Lithotripsy in Comparison to Rotational Atherectomy: An Evaluation by OFDI - The ICARE Trial

Intravascular Lithotripsy in Comparison to Rotational Atherectomy: An Evaluation by OFDI - The ICARE Trial

The ICARE trial demonstrated that intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) was non-inferior to rotational atherectomy (RA) in achieving optimal stent expansion, as assessed by optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI), in patients with calcified coronary lesions, according to study presented by Dr. Benjamin Honton, Clinique Pasteur, France, in the Hotline/Late-Breaking Trials session at EuroPCR 2025.

The ICARE trial enrolled 169 patients with de novo coronary lesions (vessel diameter 2.5–4.0 m...
