Cutting balloon angioplasty proves noninferior to intravascular lithotripsy in treating calcified coronary lesions

Results from the first randomized controlled trial to directly compare the safety and efficacy of cutting balloon (CB) angioplasty to intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) prior to drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for the treatment of calcified coronary artery disease found CB to be noninferior to IVL.
