Following its presentation as a late-breaking clinical at TCT Connect and simultaneous publication in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) we sat down with Dr. Jonathan Hill, Consultant Cardiologist at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, to get his perspective on the results, how they build on CAD I & II outcomes, and where they fit into clinician’s daily decision-making process when treating calcified lesions. We hope you enjoy his perspective.

Iliac artery calcium is particularly difficult to manage both safely and effectively with most endovascular tools and often requires costly and risky adjunctive procedures or surgical intervention, increasing morbidity and cost.

Challenges of Calcified Bifurcations: Treating a Rock in a Hard Place

Posted by Emma Miller on Aug 18, 2020 9:41:26 AM

No one likes to be stuck between a rock and hard place…well, in interventional cardiology, no one likes to treat a rock in a hard place either! Calcified bifurcations are one of the most complex clinical scenarios faced today on a routine basis. For that reason, we’ve paired up a few international “rockstar” physicians to give you the 101 on calcified bifurcations whether you’re 1,1,1 1,0,1 or 0,1,0…

It’s Good to Be Eccentric…When Trying to Treat Eccentric Calcium

Posted by Emma Miller on Jul 1, 2020 1:07:09 PM
  • Tweet

If Shockwave IVL had a personality, we’d like to think that we’d be a bit on the eccentric side. A little unconventional and taking a slightly different path than everyone else. After all, you won’t be successful in introducing a new disruptive technology if you’re marching to the same drumbeat as everyone else.

We're excited about IVL's potential in aortic stenosis, too!

But, right now we're in the early phases of the R&D program. In the meantime, don't miss the IVL application that heart teams are embracing already — maintaining transfemoral TAVR access through heavily calcified iliacs by using IVL.
