The objective of this post market study is to examine the safety and performance of the Shockwave Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy System for the treatment of narrowed coronary arteries before the doctor places a stent.
The study will be conducted at 15 sites in Europe and up to 120 participants will be followed for 30 days post procedure. Patients ≥18 years of age scheduled for stent procedure with evidence of significant calcified stenosis of left main, or left anterior descending, right coronary artery or left circumflex will be eligible to enroll in the study. The primary endpoint of the study will evaluate major adverse cardiac events post procedure including 1) cardiac related death, 2) heart attack, and 3) intervention to treat the coronary artery that was previously treated at the procedure visit.

The coronary intravascular lithotripsy catheter is similar to other balloon devices that are routinely used during angioplasty procedures; however, it has electrodes inside the balloon which are designed to deliver energy to crack the calcified blockage using lithotripsy (acoustic energy).

Number of Participants With In-hospital Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE)
The primary endpoint is the frequency of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE). MACE is defined as the following: * Cardiac death * Myocardial Infarction - defined as a CK-MB level \> 3 times the upper limit of lab normal (ULN) value with or without new pathologic Q wave * TVR - defined as revascularization at the target vessel (inclusive of the target lesion) after the completion of the index procedure
Time frame: Post-procedure through hospital discharge
Number of Participants With Clinical Success
Performance will be assessed by the ability of the Lithotripsy System to produce acceptable residual stenosis (\<50%) after stenting with no evidence of in-hospital MACE. Each patient that achieves both of these requirements will be considered a "clinical success", and the rate of clinical success among subjects will be evaluated.
Time frame: During procedure through hospital discharge
Number of Participants With Angiographic Success
Angiographic success defined as success in facilitating stent delivery with \<50% residual stenosis and without serious angiographic complications. Serious angiographic complications defined as severe dissection (Type D to F), perforation, abrupt closure, and persistent slow flow or persistent no reflow.
Time frame: During procedure
Number of Participants Which Experienced Cardiac Death
Number of patients who experienced a cardiac death at 30 days post-procedure.
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
