Abstract

Objective To assess the tissue protection afforded by simply reducing the rate of shock wave (SW) delivery, compared with studies in the pig in which SW lithotripsy (SWL)-induced vascular damage was significantly reduced by initiating treatment using low-amplitude SWs.Materials and methods Juvenile ...
