2022 was another big year for Shockwave and Q4 was no exception! On Twitter, the first Shockwave L6 cases were posted by physicians who participated in its limited release and it was great to see their excitement for our new large-vessel peripheral IVL catheter launching soon in the U.S.! At VIVA ‘22, Dr. Ehrin Armstrong presented the final 1,373 patient cohort data from the Disrupt PAD III Observational Study; this larger patient data set reinforces the predictability of Shockwave IVL and its ability to consistently modify calcium across vessel beds, challenging lesions and complex patients. Additionally, international calcium experts shared their real-world experiences with the safety and efficacy of coronary IVL across different calcium morphologies, including concentric, eccentric and nodular calcium. Check out that and more in the new PulsePoint Newsletter!

Dr. Misty Humphries reviews the sex specific analysis from the Disrupt PAD III Observational Study while at VIVA 2022. Because females often present with more difficult characteristics for endovascular therapy, this analysisof 1,373 patients aimed to illustrate that IVL can safely and effectively modify calcium regardless of gender. Dr. Humphries shares that despite women having smaller vessels, the complication rate was extremely low, with no significant difference in embolization or perforations when using Shockwave IVL to treat PAD.
Check out the presentation below and hear from Dr. Humphries on the importance of this ‘real-world’ data set in the treatment of heavily calcified PAD.

Calcified hostile access can be an exclusion criteria for endograft delivery and has been associated with both perioperative and long term morbidity and mortality…this is changing! Join the discussion between Drs Bosiers, Fazzini and Isernia and hear how IVL is changing the boundaries in their daily practice for endograft delivery by changing vessel compliance, providing excellent luminal gain and improving patient safety, simplifying the challenges raised by hostile calcified access.

Tune in for session 2 of Shockweek on Vascupedia as Dr. Elias Noory treats multiple highly calcified femoropopliteal lesions with IVL. During the session, our expert panel of Drs Lorenzo Patrone, Enrique Alejandre Lafont, Bella Huasen and Thanos Saratzis discuss how IVL can overcome the pitfalls of CLTI treatment by changing vessel compliance to reduce procedural complications. Dr. Noory and the panel also share pearls of wisdom on how to optimize your IVL strategy to get the best outcomes for patients and crack the calcium conundrum.
