Welcome to The Catalyst
Change isn't quick. Unless it's when you experience Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) for the first time. Stay apprised of our latest news and insights while discovering how a simple and intuitive tool can be The Catalyst to change the way you think about calcium modification.
We are looking forward to LINC 2020 in Leipzig, Germany for many reasons – it’s a top international vascular conference and we’re still craving glühwein in these cold winter months – but above all, we’re excited to announce the lineup for our very first ever Shockwave IVL Booth Speaker Series!
Topics: Peripheral Conferences
The inaugural TopShock Symposium celebrating the one-year anniversary of coronary IVL at EuroPCR 2019 was a momentous occasion for everyone who participated, but none more so than for Dr. Alfonso Jurado-Román, the winner of the case competition.

This Catalyst post is the first in a new series – Clinical Corner with Suzanne Wallace – who is Shockwave’s Director of Medical Education and Scientific Communication. As a board certified nurse practitioner with a post-masters degree in family practice and master of science in nursing, specializing in emergency and critical care, Suzanne has spent the majority of her career caring for patients with cardiovascular disease. She will share her perspective and expertise on current IVL clinical topics while recapping meetings, trainings, and publications. We hope you find her insights beneficial in your daily practice! And if you ever want to get in touch with her, please feel free to reach out to her directly at swallace@shockwavemedical.com.

Has anyone ever asked you, “What’s Your Why?” If you’re familiar with this phrase, then chances are you’ve either read or heard of the best-selling leadership book from Simon Sinek, Start with Why. If you haven’t read it, we’d highly recommend it. In the video below, we decided to ask our senior leadership about why they came to Shockwave.
It turns out that our team has come to Shockwave for many different reasons, but at the end of the day it’s to make a lasting impact. Developing a game-changing technology with innovative and passionate colleagues in a startup environment is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Learn why our leaders have chosen to dedicate their careers to bringing the promise of Intravascular Lithotripsy to fruition.

New York City never stops, and as vascular surgeons know, neither do the challenges of calcium. We are very excited to attend VEITH Symposium next week, November 19 – 23, in the Big Apple to discuss the latest IVL updates in vascular intervention. To help you plan your week, we’ve pulled together some of our events that we’re looking forward to most.
Topics: Peripheral Conferences
VIVA is always one of the best peripheral meetings every year, and we’re especially excited this year because we’ve got something new to show you: Shockwave S4.
Topics: Peripheral Conferences, Shockwave S4
But, right now we're in the early phases of the R&D program. In the meantime, don't miss the IVL application that heart teams are embracing already — maintaining transfemoral TAVR access through heavily calcified iliacs by using IVL.
