Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention in STEMI patients may be complicated by the presence of calcium. The Shockwave IVL technique seems to be a safe and useful option, even in STEMI cases, to achieve procedural success. Nevertheless, extra support techniques may be needed in order to deliver the Shockwave balloon.
