About this trial
The FORWARD IVL trial is a Prospective, Multicenter Study conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Single-Use Coronary Forward Intravascular Lithotripsy Catheter combined with the Intravascular Lithotripsy Therapy Device for the pre-treatment of calcified, stenotic de novo coronary artery lesions .
