Dr Gaurav and Dr M.S Hiremath performed the first intraVascular lithotripsy in pune .
This is a special balloon which gives spark n energy to break the calcium in the vessel wall n make a soft bed for the stent to land-in. This is another big leap for percutaneous revascularisation n can improve angioplasty results for hard calcific vessels
Can also be used in peripheral vessels
The lithotripsy BALLOON of course comes at an astonishing price
But saved bypass surgery for this high risk individual
