In case you weren’t able to make it to EuroPCR’s e-Course last week, you missed a great discussion among some of coronary IVL’s most knowledgeable operators about how they’re using the technology in the real-world setting. Lucky for you, we’ve included the sponsored roundtable discussion below featuring Drs. Benjamin Honton (FR), Javier Escaned (ES) and Michael Lee (HK). We hope you enjoy hearing their perspectives from across Europe and Asia.

BTK Recoil and Calcium: New Infographic & Video with Dr. George Adams

Posted by Emma Miller on Jun 4, 2020 9:31:41 AM

Acute recoil is a phenomenon in small arteries, such as those below-the-knee (BTK), when there is a significant reduction in luminal gain within just a few minutes after balloon angioplasty.  Since the goal of BTK angioplasty is to maximize distal flow in order to heal wounds, recoil is a significant problem.  As a result, reducing the incidence of acute recoil should be an important goal in improving BTK treatment.

Chalk & Organic Eggs: IVL from Idea to Reality

Posted by Emma Miller on Apr 7, 2020 9:40:34 AM

The story of how Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) came into being is a paragon of true innovation – it could be a chapter out of Steven Johnson’s book, Where Good Ideas Come From.  The founders demonstrate a textbook example of how the amalgamation of building liquid networks, developing the slow hunch, error, serendipity, and expanding into the adjacent possible led to the disruptive innovation that is IVL. 

 

See what role a child’s piece of chalk, organic chicken eggs and cadaver legs all play in IVL’s journey from idea to reality in this fun video.

At Shockwave, we’re committed to the creation of sound clinical evidence to support the adoption and long-term utilization of our technology. This includes a balance of high-quality Shockwave-sponsored and investigator-initiated research studies to advance the knowledge of our technology’s performance in daily practice.

 

While you can read more about our company-sponsored clinical trials on the website here, there hasn’t been a good resource for our customers to understand what investigator-initiated studies we’re also supporting…until now.

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.
