Fl\u00fcssigkeit gef\u00fcllten Ballonkatheter nutzt, der an eine Energiequelle angeschlossen ist und mittels Energieabgabe \u00fcber Emitter im Ballonkatheter ultraschallbasierte akustische Druckwellen, sogenannte Shockwellen, erzeugt, um Gef\u00e4\u00dfverkalkungen zu modifizieren, zu frakturieren und zu fragmentieren.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Der Shockwave IVL-Katheter wird zu einer verkalkten Verschlussstelle in der Arterie vorgeschoben und mit niedrigem, subnominalem Druck aufgeblasen<\/li>\n<li>Die Energie wird vom Schockwellengenerator zum mit Fl\u00fcssigkeit gef\u00fcllten Ballon \u00fcbertragen und dort schnell absorbiert<\/li>\n<li>Die schnelle Energieabsorption erzeugt Schockwellen, die sich von ihrem Ursprung ausbreiten und auf die verkalkte Verschlussstelle einwirken, w\u00e4hrend weiches, gesundes Gewebe unber\u00fchrt bleibt<\/li>\n<li>Schockwellen modifizieren, zerkleinern und fragmentieren die verkalkte Verschlussstelle, verbessern so die arterielle Dehnbarkeit
