Though sizing 1:1 to the healthy RVD may be a customary approach seen in other devices like traditional balloon angioplasty, Peripheral IVL is an exception to the rule. It's recommended to oversize Peripheral IVL by 10% (a ratio of 1.1:1) to the healthy RVD because it achieves better and sustained wall apposition, which leads to more efficient energy transfer from the IVL device.(1, 2, 3)

What a fantastic finish! From launching the new 120-pulse Shockwave C2+ catheter in the U.S. to establishing a new Category I CPT® Add-on Code for coronary IVL, Q4 was filled with wave-making moments and positive momentum.
One highlight was the release of sex-specific outcomes data for both coronary and peripheral IVL from the DISRUPT PAD III, DISRUPT CAD III and CAD IV studies. Additionally, the DISRUPT PAD III study provided important data supporting the practice of sizing up by 10% for peripheral IVL. Look back at a few of our most noteworthy Q4 accomplishments and get excited about what’s coming in 2024 in the latest issue of the PulsePoint Newsletter.

In this Cath Lab Digest article, Dr. Brian Jefferson of Centennial Heart, HCA Tristar Centennial Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee explains why the 40 additional pulses in the Shockwave C2+ catheter allows for an "IVL-first" strategy in lesions he previously reserved for atherectomy (i.e. long, diffuse lesions and multi-vessel disease).

Dr. Ziad Ali of St. Francis Hospital and Heart Center, Roslyn, New York explains the concept behind the development of the Shockwave C2+ catheter to facilitate the management of more complex, calcified lesions leading to a paradigm shift from lesion prep to vessel prep. Dr. Ali also shares his initial experiences with Shockwave C2+ including his pulse management strategy with 40 additional pulses to better treat long diffuse lesions as well as multiple calcium morphologies including eccentric and nodular calcium.

From the first U.S. Shockwave C2+ case to the unveiling of the 2023 TopShock finalists, this past quarter had a lively pulse all its own. In other news, we’re very excited to share the impressive results from the 2-year DISRUPT CAD III study of IVL for Treatment of Severely Calcified Coronary Arteries.
For our international customers, there was an excellent poster session presented during ESC Congress that featured three presentations on our Coronary Sinus Reducer*. We also launched a series of real-world application videos from VAM 2023 that highlight Shockwave L6 and the benefits of using it to tackle calcium in large vessels. Dive head first into the latest PulsePoint Newsletter to learn more about the big waves made in Q3!
