In episode #9 of the ChalkTalk podcast, we speak with Alexandra Lansky, MD, FACC, FAHA, FSCAI, FESC, Professor of Medicine in Cardiology, and Director of Yale Cardiovascular Clinical Research Program at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, about her recent gender analyses at TCT21 and SCAI22, in which she presented the respective 30-day and 1-year outcomes broken out by women vs men that were enrolled in the Disrupt CAD clinical program.
Dr. Lansky shares the genesis of the analysis - previous research showing that female atherectomy patients have an increased risk for angiographic complications than their male counterparts,[i] and sheds light on what makes coronary IVL unique from a safety perspective. She concludes by discussing the recent publication of SCAI’s “Expert Consensus Statement on Sex-Specific Consideration in Myocardial Revascularization” in JSCAI, which referenced the role of IVL in female patients. The SCAI guidelines concluded, “while additional evidence is needed, these results taken in the context of outcomes with atherectomy devices suggest that IVL may emerge as a first-line therapy for plaque modification of calcified lesions in women specifically.”
We hope you enjoy the episode and for more information on coronary IVL in women, please visit TimeForAnIntervention.com.

It’s no exaggeration that calcium represents the Achilles heel of endovascular treatment. As the patient population continues to evolve in complexity we need solutions that can treat severe calcified disease in an efficacious, safe and durable way. Listen as Dr Konstantinos Stavroulakis shares the outcomes of his recent publication of Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) and DCB in severely calcified femoropopliteal lesions followed out to 12 months and understand why he believes IVL is a game changer in the treatment of complex real world patients.

In a few weeks, we are headed to a city known for its sunshine and southern hospitality, Atlanta, Georgia, where SCAI 2022 is taking place this year. At the conference, leading calcium experts will share the 1-year results from the Randomized Disrupt PAD III Trial and 1-year sex specific outcomes with Coronary IVL.

The presence of calcium can pose significant challenges in achieving optimal procedural outcomes in PAD treatment and can pose as a barrier to the delivery of large bore access devices. Shockwave IVL is shifting the paradigm in the way physicians approach calcium by simplifying procedures in an efficacious and safe manner. Now the next generation of peripheral IVL technology is here: Shockwave M5+! The Shockwave M5+ extends treatment options with the introduction of its new features; faster pulsing, an extended working length and expanded size matrix.
