Intravascular lithotripsy facilitates percutaneous coronary intervention of lesions with severe calcification by using high-pressure ultrasonic energy. It is the newest adjunctive tool for calcium modification and is showing promise as its users gather more experience and it becomes readily available worldwide. This article reviews intravascular lithotripsy technology, the evidence in the literature, and the advantages and disadvantages compared with other forms of calcium modification, and discusses its role in specific subsets of coronary lesions. It concludes with a discussion about the future direction of research involving this new technology as its role within percutaneous cardiac procedures becomes more defined.
