Intravascular Lithotripsy With or Without Rotational Atherectomy for Coronary Calcified Nodule Treatment

Coronary Calcified Nodule Management With Rotational Atherectomy Plus Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy vs. Intravascular Lithotripsy Alone: A Prospective, Randomized Trial (NODULE-SHOCK)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The NODULE-SHOCK trial is a prospective, investigator-initiated, single-center, randomized controlled trial designed to compare the efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) with or without rotational atherectomy (RA) in patients with coronary calcified nodules (Cohort A), and operator-determined vs maximum IVL pulses in patients with non-nodular severe coronary calcium (Cohort B).

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Planned surgery within 6 months unless DAPT can be maintained
  • Concurrent participation in another investigational study
  • Angiographic evidence of significant dissection at the treatment site prior to intervention
  • Lesion with a previously placed stent within 10mm (visual estimate)

Other illness

  • Primary PCI for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
  • Known allergy or contraindication to DAPT (aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor)
  • Life expectancy \<12 months due to a serious medical illness (e.g., advanced cancer, end-stage heart failure)
  • Referral for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after a heart team discussion

Lab values

  • Last remaining vessel with severely compromised left ventricular function (LVEF \<30%)

Other

  • Cardiogenic shock at the time of procedure
  • Pregnant, nursing, or childbearing potential without adequate contraception
  • Severe kidney dysfunction (CrCl \<30 mL/min) without dialysis
  • Angiographic evidence of thrombus at the target lesion
  • Target lesion within a saphenous vein graft (SVG)

Who the study is looking for

  • Age ≥18 years who signed written informed consent
  • Presence of a clinical indication for coronary intervention
  • Patients undergoing PCI for a de novo calcified lesion with planned drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation
  • Native coronary artery with significant stenosis defined as:
  • ≥70% and \<100% stenosis on angiography, or
  • 50-70% stenosis with evidence of ischemia (positive stress test, FFR ≤ 0.8, or OCT minimal lumen area (MLA) ≤ 4.0 mm2)
  • Reference vessel diameter: ≥2.5 mm to ≤ 4.0 mm
  • Lesion length: ≥5mm
  • Moderate to severe calcification of the target lesion confirmed by angiography
  • Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 at baseline

Age in the registry: 18 years to - · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
