SUCCESSFUL HEART SURGERY USING SOUND WAVES TAKES PLACE FOR FIRST TIME IN ISRAEL

JNS.org – A cardiac catheterization using sound waves was successfully performed for the first time in Israel on Sunday by the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
By Algemeiner, December 13, 2019:
The procedure was done to treat a complex case of severe arterial congestion, reported the Tazpit News Agency.
The 66-year-old patient had calcium build-up, and doctors used special equipment developed by SHOCKWAVE after a previously performed catheterization failed to help the issue.
The treatment consists of “the deployment of a tiny balloon filled with fluid and tiny balls at the point where there is a build-up of calcium within the artery,” according to Tazpit. “After the balloon is in place, sound waves are triggered to create a rapid movement of the balls which create cracks in the calcium inside the artery. The cracks allow for the elasticity of the artery and the insertion of a stent in the same location, without damaging the artery.”
