This is a prospective and multicenter clinical investigation aiming to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of coronary intravascular lithotripsy system for the treatment of patients with coronary calcification.
This trial is a prospective and multicenter clinical trial. 189 subjects are expected to be recruited in 20 research centers in China.
91 studies on the registry are indexed under Calcinosis; 19 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 189 is above the median of 70 across 56 interventional studies indexed under Calcinosis.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

Subjects in experimental group will be treated with the Intravascular Lithotripsy System manufactured by Shanghai Microport Rhythm Co. Ltd.
Device: Intravascular Lithotripsy System of Shanghai MicroPort Rhythm
The Intravascular Lithotripsy System is a single-use, sterile, disposable balloon angioplasty catheter that contains a series of unfocused, electrohydraulic lithotripsy emitters, which convert electrical energy into transient acoustic circumferential pressure pulses that disrupt both superficial and deep calcium within vascular plaque.
Procedure success rate
Procedure success is defined as stent implantation with residual diameter stenosis ≤30% and no major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during hospitalization (up to 7 days post-procedure). MACE is defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization.
Time frame: During hospitalization (up to 7 days after procedure)
Device success rate
Device success is defined as delivery of the IVL catheter across the target lesion and delivery of lithotripsy without serious angiographic complications immediately after IVL.
Time frame: Baseline procedure
Angiographic success rate
Angiographic success is defined as stent delivery with ≤30% residual stenosis and without serious angiographic complications.
Time frame: Baseline procedure
MACE freedom rate at 30 days after the index procedure
MACE is defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction\[MI\], and target vessel revascularization \[TVR\]. (Periprocedural MI is defined as peak post-PCI CK-MB level \>3 x the upper limit of normal \[ULN\], both non-Q wave myocardial infarction or Q-wave myocardial infarction.)
Time frame: within 30 days of baseline procedure
Procedure-related serious complications
Procedure-related serious complications included severe dissection (Type D-F, according to NHLBI classification system), perforation, abrupt closure, and persistent slow flow/no-reflow during the baseline procedure.
Time frame: Baseline procedure
