CAD III ShockTalk: A Discussion about the Data’s Significance
At TCT Connect, investigators presented the 30-day primary endpoint analysis of the Disrupt CAD III study, the largest and most rigorous coronary IVL study to date.
After the meeting, we invited the study’s co-PI, Dr. Jonathan Hill, and two additional CAD III investigators, Drs. Margaret McEntegart and Holger Nef, to review the results and discuss the trial takeaways with two thought leaders in calcium modification not involved in the study, Profs. Carlo Di Mario and Flavio Ribichini, to hear their take as independent physicians.
The conversation spanned many great topics, including whether imaging is necessary or a nice-to-have with IVL, the learning curve associated with the technology, the clinical impact of IVL-induced ventricular capture, and what the compelling CAD III data add to the existing coronary IVL body of evidence. We hope you enjoy the discussion!
