After being held in various cities over the recent years, TCT is back home where it belongs – back in the Bay, and joyfully, right in our backyard. We couldn’t be more excited about TCT this year. And no, it’s not just because those of us who live in the city are lucky enough to walk to work for a few beautiful September days.

Richard Anderson case image

Thanks to our UK distributor, Vascular Perspectives, for capturing a very compelling case from Dr. Richard Anderson, one of the longest standing commercial coronary IVL users in the in the UK at the University Hospital Wales. In the video he details out his treatment strategy for treating a heavily calcified RCA, LMS, LAD and LCX with a variety of calcium modification tools, including Shockwave IVL.  Learn why he chooses Shockwave as his primary tool due to the patient’s moderate to severe left ventricular impairment. Hope you enjoy the case review!
