They are the most difficult subset for modification, and may result in stent damage, malapposition and under\u2010expansion. There are only limited options available for non\u2010eruptive CN modification. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is being explored as a potentially safe and effective modality in these lesions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the use of IVL for the modification of non\u2010eruptive CNs. The study also explored the OCT features of calcium nodule modification by IVL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is a single\u2010center, prospective, observational study in which patients with angiographic heavy calcification and non\u2010eruptive CN on OCT and undergoing PCI were enrolled. The primary safety endpoint was freedom from perforation, no\u2010reflow\/slow flow, flow\u2010limiting dissection after IVL therapy, and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during hospitalization and at 30 days. MACE was defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and ischemia\u2010driven target lesion revascularization (TLR). The primary efficacy endpoint was procedural success, defined as residual diameter stenosis of &lt;30% on angiography and stent expansion of more than 80% as assessed by OCT.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 21 patients with 54 non\u2010eruptive CNs undergoing PCI were prospectively enrolled in the study. Before IVL, OCT revealed a mean calcium score of 3.7\u2009\u00b1\u20090.5 and a mean MLA at CN of 3.9\u2009\u00b1\u20092.1 mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>. Following IVL, OCT revealed calcium fractures in 40 out of 54 (74.1%) CNs with an average of 1.05\u2009\u00b1\u20090.72 fractures per CN. Fractures were predominantly observed at the base of the CN (80%). Post IVL, the mean MLA at CN increased to 4.9\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3 mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>. After PCI, the mean MSA at the CN was 7.9\u2009\u00b1\u20092.5\u2009mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>. Optimal stent expansion (stent expansion &gt;80%) at the CN was achieved in 85.71% of patients. All patients remained free from MACE during hospitalization and at the 30\u2010day follow\u2010up. At 1\u2010year follow\u2010up, all\u2010cause death had occurred in 3 (14.3%) patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This single\u2010arm study demonstrated the safety, efficacy, and utility of the IVL in a subset of patients with non\u2010eruptive calcified nodules. In this study, minimal procedural complications, excellent lesion modifications, and favorable 30\u2010day and 1\u2010year outcomes were
