Outcomes included technical success (successful IVL with \u2264\u200930% residual stenosis after any adjunctive therapy), moderate-to-severe adverse events (AEs), symptom recurrence, clinically driven target vessel revascularisation (CD-TVR), patency, and survival.

IVL was followed by stenting in 53 de-novo lesions (47 bare-metal, 6 covered), and balloon angioplasty in 4 lesions (3 de-novo, 1 in-stent restenosis). Technical success was 93.0%, with predilatation required in 45.6% of vessels. Median residual stenosis was 16.7% (IQR 11.7), and median lumen gain was 3.5\u2009mm (IQR 2.1). Moderate-to-severe AEs occurred in 27.5% of patients. Two patients were lost to follow-up. During a median follow-up of 578.0 days (IQR 529.5), symptom recurrence occurred in 18.4% of patients, and CD-TVR was required in 16.3%. Primary clinical patency was 93.4% at 6 months and 91.0% at 12 months. Survival rates were 91.7% and 89.4% at 6 and 12 months, respectively; mesenteric ischaemia-related mortality was 2.0%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IVL is a safe and effective vessel preparation strategy for heavily calcified mesenteric arteries, facilitating endovascular revascularisation in CMI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key Points<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:bold>\n                        <jats:italic>Question<\/jats:italic>\n                      <\/jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>Can vessel preparation with intravascular lithotripsy reduce the rate of endovascular treatment failure associated with moderate-to-severe calcification in mesenteric artery stenosis without amplifying procedural risks?<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:bold>\n                        <jats:italic>Findings<\/jats:italic>\n                      <\/jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>Calcium modification with intravascular lithotripsy prior to stenting yielded high technical and clinical success with favourable lumen gain, safety profile, and durable patency<\/jats:italic>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:bold>\n                        <jats:italic>Clinical relevance<\/jats:italic>\n                      <\/jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>Adjunctive intravascular lithotripsy is a valuable strategy to mitigate the challenges of calcification in mesenteric artery stenosis, achieving high technical and clinical success while preserving procedural safety, thereby broadening treatment feasibility and improving outcomes in complex disease<\/jats:italic>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-025-12310-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]],"date-time":"2026-01-30T17:18:59Z","timestamp":1769793539000},"page":"4658-4668","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Endovascular revascularisation in chronic occlusive mesenteric ischaemia: safety and efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5557-6563","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annette","family":"Thurner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominik","family":"Peter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sven","family":"Lichthardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne Marie","family":"Augustin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sven","family":"Flemming","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ralph","family":"Kickuth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"12310_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2020.10.029","volume":"73","author":"TS Huber","year":"2021","unstructured":"Huber TS, Bj\u00f6rck M, Chandra A et al (2021) Chronic mesenteric ischemia: clinical practice guidelines from the Society for Vascular Surgery.
