Learn How Coronary IVL is Currently Utilized Within Non-Surgical Facilities
Want to learn more about Coronary IVL’s place within existing facilities lacking surgical cardiac backup? Cardiovascular Business and Shockwave Medical is excited to present this on demand webinar titled: No Surgical Backup? No Problem. This webinar consists of an expert panel who provide real-world insights and implications of Coronary IVL usage within non-surgical facilities. Topics within this event include a review of the recent SCAI Expert Consensus Document regarding PCI within non-surgical facilities, an introduction to Shockwave IVL, and a real-world clinical and administrational perspective of Coronary IVL within an existing non-surgical facility. A fantastic roundtable discussion and Q+A close the webinar with additional insights regarding Coronary IVL within these important facilities.
The webinar and additional information regarding Coronary IVL and non-surgical facilities can be found at the links below.

2022 was another big year for Shockwave and Q4 was no exception! On Twitter, the first Shockwave L6 cases were posted by physicians who participated in its limited release and it was great to see their excitement for our new large-vessel peripheral IVL catheter launching soon in the U.S.! At VIVA ‘22, Dr. Ehrin Armstrong presented the final 1,373 patient cohort data from the Disrupt PAD III Observational Study; this larger patient data set reinforces the predictability of Shockwave IVL and its ability to consistently modify calcium across vessel beds, challenging lesions and complex patients. Additionally, international calcium experts shared their real-world experiences with the safety and efficacy of coronary IVL across different calcium morphologies, including concentric, eccentric and nodular calcium.

Dr. Misty Humphries reviews the sex specific analysis from the Disrupt PAD III Observational Study while at VIVA 2022. Because females often present with more difficult characteristics for endovascular therapy, this analysisof 1,373 patients aimed to illustrate that IVL can safely and effectively modify calcium regardless of gender. Dr. Humphries shares that despite women having smaller vessels, the complication rate was extremely low, with no significant difference in embolization or perforations when using Shockwave IVL to treat PAD.
Check out the presentation below and hear from Dr. Humphries on the importance of this ‘real-world’ data set in the treatment of heavily calcified PAD.
