The “Fracking” technique: a novel approach to crack deep calcified plaque in the common femoral artery with hydraulic pressure

Abstract Background The patency achieved by conventional peripheral interventions for atherosclerotic lesions in the common femoral artery (CFA), called the “no stenting zone”, is not superior to that achieved by surgical endarterectomy due to calcified plaque occupying the area. Plaque modification...
