At Shockwave, we’re committed to the creation of sound clinical evidence to support the adoption and long-term utilization of our technology. This includes a balance of high-quality Shockwave-sponsored and investigator-initiated research studies to advance the knowledge of our technology’s performance in daily practice.
While you can read more about our company-sponsored clinical trials on the website here, there hasn’t been a good resource for our customers to understand what investigator-initiated studies we’re also supporting…until now.

Regardless of what party you align with or what type of calcium is the most challenging to you, CRT has a lithotripsy presentation for everyone this year in DC.
