- Abstract
Over the last few decades, endovascular revascularization techniques have revolutionized the treatment of peripheral artery disease, offering a less invasive alternative to surgery. However, the successful treatment of heavily calcified lesions is often compromised by various vascular complications, including recoils, dissections, and the need for target vessel reinterventions. This has prompted the development of several tools for lesion preparation, with the aim of achieving better procedural outcomes. This review aims to summarize the main characteristics and current evidence related to the available devices for preparing severely calcified peripheral lesions.
