This study is gathering information about a procedure called shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (S-IVL), which uses targeted sound waves to help open coronary arteries that are severely hardened with calcium or have stents that didn't expand properly. Doctors at two heart centers in Poland are collecting data on all patients who receive this treatment to understand how safe and effective the procedure is for these difficult cases.
Some patients have heart blockages that are so heavily calcified (hardened) that standard balloon angioplasty doesn't work well, and previously placed stents sometimes don't fully open. This registry was created to collect real-world evidence about whether the shockwave technique can successfully treat these challenging situations and whether it's safe for patients.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you would receive the shockwave procedure at one of the two participating heart centers in Poland as part of your standard treatment plan. Your doctors would use imaging to guide the shockwave catheter and determine the right number of pulses needed to prepare your artery or optimize your stent. Your medical information and procedural details would be recorded in the registry to help researchers understand how well and safely this treatment works for patients like you.
