One cannot become a calcium expert overnight – it takes time and commitment to go deep on the topic. That’s why we’re excited to embark this month on a year-long education journey that we’re calling the Calcium Masterclass. Over the last year, we’ve been working with Prof. James Spratt (St. George’s University, London) and the team at Optima Education to develop a comprehensive collection of 10 webinars, 5 of which will feature live cases, and a 14-chapter calcium compendium that will be presented by 37 masters of coronary calcium.

Recently at CRT21, Dr. Matthew Price, Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, presented the first sub-analysis of the Disrupt CAD III U.S. pivotal study, looking at clinical outcomes with IVL in lesions <25mm compared to those with ≥25mm. After his presentation, we caught up with Dr. Price to get his perspective on the data and its significance. You can also watch his full presentation at the video below.
Following the recent PMA approval of coronary IVL, Dr. Robert Riley, Medical Director of the Complex Coronary Therapeutics Program, and Dr. John Corl, Medical Director of PAD/CLI Program, of the Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, performed the first commercial U.S. coronary IVL cases. Following their cases, we caught up with Dr. Riley to get his take on using the technology outside of a clinical trial and what advice he has for other physicians before they try the technology.
