Disclosed is a method for removing deposits from an in vivo tissue, such as removing calcified plaque from a calcified aortic valve by removing the deposits with the help of shock waves produced by a light-source such as a laser in an aqueous liquid in proximity of the tissue as well as a shock-wave generating device useful in implementing the method. Disclosed is a minimally invasive valve-sparing treatment of calcific aortic stenosis. |
