The ORBIT I trial suggests that the OAS may offer an effective method to change compliance of calcified coronary lesions to facilitate optimal stent placement in these difficult to treat patients. A larger trial is required to establish safety and overall effectiveness of the OAS in treating calcified coronary lesions. Featured on MDLinx.comsite.
