Figure 1.
Figure 1. The shock therapy stopped after less than five pulses with Shockwave IVL coronary system, during inflation of Shockwave IVL semi-compliant low-pressure integrated balloon with a mixture 50% contrast and 50% water PPI for the first 11 patients (two patients in 2019, two patients in 2020, and seven patients in 2021). IVL: intravascular lithotripsy.

Figure 2. No pulse malfunction with Shockwave IVL coronary system was noted during inflation of Shockwave IVL semi-compliant low-pressure integrated balloon with a mixture 50% contrast and 50% sodium chloride physiological saline solution for the following 31 patients (23 patients in 2022, and eight patients since the beginning of 2023). IVL: intravascular lithotripsy.
