Core Tip	The presence of severe calcification in coronary arteries poses a challenge for the interventional cardiologist. If inadequately addressed, it leads to inadequate stent expansion, difficulty in delivery of stent/balloon, balloon rupture, stent dislodgement, stent thrombosis and even perforation. Intravascular lithotripsy is a novel technique utilizing ultrasonic waves to disrupt the calcium in the vessel wall while retaining them in situ. With the accumulation of data and growing expertise of operators with intravascular lithotripsy, it is turning out to be an indispensable tool in catheterization laboratory. We present 2 cases in which intravascular lithotripsy was successfully utilized.
