2023 was off to a shockingly great start! We were thrilled to acquire Neovasc, a company with a first-of-its-kind technology to address refractory angina, and are looking forward to driving value for physicians and improving the lives of an underserved patient population. The excitement for our new peripheral product, Shockwave L6, was electrifying and has continued to make waves across the U.S. Shockwave IVL and Coronary IVL became listed by SCAI as a potential therapy option across all U.S. cath labs regardless of surgical backup status. As always, we were further confirming the efficacy and safety of Shockwave IVL across different calcium morphologies through new publications. We highlight these topics and more in our latest PulsePoint Newsletter!

We asked Prof. James Spratt and Dr. Simon Wilson to share their IVL journey since the launch of Shockwave C2 five years ago and their initial experience with the new Shockwave C2+. Regardless of the physicians experience, the overall opinion is the same: “IVL is quick to learn, easy to use, very safe, and effective across a broad range of calcium types that other technologies can’t compete with. It has changed the landscape for calcium modification and the new Shockwave C2+ catheter continues to expand physicians ability to deal effectively and safely with severe calcium in a broader range of patients.” Read more below:

In the latest ChalkTalk episode, we sat down with Dr. Jonathan Hill, Royal Brompton Hospital, London, to have a discussion about his 5-year journey with Coronary IVL. Being involved in the first Disrupt CAD clinical studies and one of the first commercial users of the technology, he has vast experience, which he has translated into many best practices, including creating the “pulse management strategy” approach to energy distribution in the artery. In our conversation, Dr. Hill speaks to some of the most memorable moments in his interventional career, his insights into the new Shockwave C2+ catheter and his outlook on EuroPCR 2023 and beyond. We hope you enjoy this personal insights and don’t miss our latest blogpost for more information on Shockwave IVL at EuroPCR 2023 https://blog.shockwavemedical.com/europcr-2023

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.
